 | The House on Eccles Road by Judith Kitchen
Taking ULYSSES as a basis for the story, Judith Kitchen relocates the Blooms to Ohio in 1999 and sends Molly on her own June 16th odyssey through the town where they live. It's Molly and Leo's anniversary: will he remember? will he take her out to dinner? Meanwhile, a friend of hers needs her baby-sitting services, and Molly is reminded again of the death of their only son. And a man she has long been attracted to asks her to sing in the local musical he is directing. Then, in the evening, the Blooms celebrate their anniversary in a most unexpected way.

 | Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
Tyrone Slothrop is an archetypal innocent abroad, but in the worst possible circumstances: he's an American on a mission to locate V-2 rocket-launching sites in war-torn Europe. On a larger level, the novel illustrates the struggle between those who perceive and rebel against the war, seeing it as an overt movement toward the obliteration of the individual, and those who suppress individual identity to serve the war machine controlled by Them. Which side Slothrop is on remains highly ambiguous. A totalizing, encyclopedic work in much the same way as Joyce's ULYSSES, this is perhaps one of the two or three most critically acclaimed and pondered novels of the 20th century. GRAVITY'S RAINBOW is dedicated to Richard Farina, a young author Pynchon met at Cornell whose promising literary career was cut short by a fatal motorcycle accident. In 1974, the Pulitzer Prize Committee recommended this novel unanimously, but the Pulitzer Prize Board rejected it as obscene and unreadable. As a result, there was no prize awarded for that year.
