Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

Challenging, Worth it, but not for the faint heart

Highlighted, noted, and reference the book often. Couldn't follow without it. Got lost without it.

In Stained Glass Lives, Louise Worthington’s writing fuses poetry and prose, beauty, and violence. Sometimes, tender, sometimes harsh, she explores loss, female power, and the power of distorted thought, as well as creating stark portraits of family, violence, and revenge.

Great Prose. I liken it to a confessional booth.

Louise Worthington has excellent prose. These shorts are full of vivid visceral concrete images. I enjoyed indulging in that richness while listening.
I will note to other readers, I found these stories serve more as psychological milieu than a driving plot. It has the same feel as sitting within a cathedral having access into the mind of others while they stare into the stain glass. I liken it to what a catholic priest might receive if all his sinners were poets. It itches that I'm wondering what she's thinking pulsation. They're ephemeral yet pleasing.
Now onto the audio. The narrator had a solid performance. Yet as the listener I needed a longer pause between each short. One short jumping into another caused an effect similar to a poetic enjambment. However, in this case, I found this lack of negative audio space made the story hard to follow. I wished the audio engineer on this had added 4-5 second after each chapter segment narration to help distinguish one story from another.
