>infinite zest
Poor Yorick’s skull = The Stork’s head, literally the man of Infinte Jest who interferes throughout the narrative and is generally the organizing principle of the book. Also the book is a basic-bitch fractal structure that can be plotted out nice and neatly if you’re autistic enough to care.

>The Brothers K
so which of the Brothers K did it? Oh that’s right, the one we don’t normally include in the label “the Brothers K,” the fourth “secret” brother Smerdyakov.

>As I Lay Dying
Guess what, it’s Addie Bundren, a symbol for old Southern culture.

>Anna Karenina
Why isn’t this book named after the other protagonist, Levin? Oh that’s right because life is morally ambiguous but that’s okay because god and complicated, much like the page count-necessity of this book.

>Moby Dick
projecting the American ego onto nature, woah

the title "Gravity's Rainbow" refers to the colors of dicks that are closer to the ground, (longer, more affected by gravity). It is no coincidence that a major theme is the negro penis and Slothrop's own laughable erections.
