This is absolute garbage. How can someone have the audacity to read a passage about a minor getting spanked making an audience including the protagonist get so aroused they have a spontaneous orgy and call it "the greatest book ever written in the English language"? How can someone with a straight face read a book that includes a man eating feces from a woman's anus that reminds him of fellating a black man's penis and have the nerve to recommend that book to another human being?
Go to bed, Granddad!
Gee /lit/ it's okay, you don't have to sell it to me, I've begun reading it already.

It's just a prank, bro.
There is a lot to take fault with in Gravity's Rainbow, but neither of the passages you cite strike me as low points.
Were you under the impression those scenes were meant to be funny?

It sounds like he's bitching about it for moralfag reasons rather than based on the prose or anything. He should calm the fuck down and have a banana.

I was going to read it but the mention of these scenes are a bit off putting. Is it really as disgusting as OP is saying?

Wha? That's the world we live in. GR was yr exposure to this? That's not fiction, that's the world that all novels are written in, the world we wake up into and nod off in everyday, the world where we shitpost on /lit/ while the Harvard educated elite fund mass murder across third and second world countries. I know you know this, but do you care?Pretend to care?
