Gravity’s Rainbow

Not to be mean, but by any chance did Alan Sokal pull another prank and write the 2nd paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow?

“Gravity’s Rainbow is transgressive—not only because it questions and inverts social standards of deviance and disgust but also because it breaks down, or transgresses, the hermetically sealed either/or boundaries and categories of Western culture and reason. Frequently digressive, the novel subverts many of the traditional elements of plot and character development, and traverses detailed, specialist knowledge drawn from a wide range of disciplines.”

Like I always say, that’s the real problem with Western culture and reason: all those hermetically sealed either/or boundaries. Let us transgress them.
