GR is for the most part an entirely standalone book, but that said, a lot of the African stuff has bigger impact having read V., and knowing the stories of Kurt Mondaugen, Weissman Blicero, and the "Von Trotha days" and stuff. But no, mostly it's just Pynchon's style of worldbuilding. GR shares characters with and minor connections to most of Pynchon's other books. Though V and GR are probably the most closely linked and thematically similar.

Do you talk to your mom about the literature you read? I've always thought it would be cool to have someone in my family to talk about books with.
