BONUS - Interview with Prüfstand VII director Robert Bramkamp

Hallo Leute! Interrupting the regular flow with this bonus interview with German writer/director Robert Bramkamp, whose film Prüfstand VII uses Gravity's Rainbow as a way into analyzing the history of the rocket in Germany, and the Nazi program itself. Some very interesting insights on how the novel resonated with a German reader. Also...some fun links below! We'll be back next week with another read-a-long episode, which takes us "Into the Zone." Tschüss! Rent or Buy Prüfstand VII here. Read Robert's accompanying book here. Note that the book is in German, but around page 201 you can find the letters between Robert and Pynchon's agent/partner Melanie Jackson, discussing his reenactments of scenes from Gravity's Rainbow and their use in the film. A must-read for all completists and diehard correspondence-heads.
