Gravity's Rainbow - L'arcobaleno della gravità by Thomas PynchonVoglioleggereFiction, London, 1944, Final months of World War II, Tyrone Slothrop, an American working for Allied Intelligence in London, has a big problem, whenever he gets an erection, a Blitz bomb hits, 'A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now. It is too late. The Evacuation still proceeds, but it’s all theatre. There are no lights inside the cars. No light anywhere. Above him lift girders old as an iron queen, and glass somewhere far above that would let the light of day through. But it’s night. He’s afraid of the way the glass will fall -- soon -- it will be a spectacle: the fall of a crystal palace. But coming down in total blackout, without one glint of light, only great invisible crashing.

Only the nearer faces are visible at all, and at that only as half-silvered images in a view finder, green-stained VIP faces remembered behind bulletproof windows speeding through the city...'.
