Notes

General Note
Originally published: U.S.A. : Viking Press, 1973.
Description
Set at the end of World War Two, featuring a large cast of characters, this novel centers on the design and production of the German V-2 rockets. What is the "black device" that is rumored to be placed in a very special rocket? Where is it going?
Description
This award-winning novel is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth 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.
Target Audience
Adults.
Awards
Winner, National Book Award for Fiction, 1974 (shared award.)
