EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"The end result of his endeavor is less an illustrated novel than a series of eerie, high art interpretations."
—Marcela Valdes, Washington Post

"Zak Smith, with uninhibited bravado and exactly the right kind of insanity, has done something remarkable in [Pictures Showing What Happens on Each Page of Thomas Pynchon's Novel Gravity's Rainbow] : created a series of images that approach the richness of their source. He draws a lurid and intoxicating netherworld, complete in its own right and, at the same time, an illuminating companion to the novel."
—Emily Barton, Los Angeles Times

"The drawings are surprisingly detailed, colorful and contemplative, adding new layers to the text and potentially earning Pynchon some new fans."
—Whitney Matheson, USA Today

"[Pictures Showing What Happens on Each Page of Thomas Pynchon's Novel Gravity's Rainbow] can be enjoyed on its own or read simultaneously with the 1973 novel, putting Smith's art next to those discursive, intricate, elusive, overwritten sentences."
—Jeff Baker, The Oregonian
