Thank you to everyone who tuned into Bedtime Stories with RADAR and Chet Sandberg bringing perspectives and life to Gravity’s Rainbow.
We read pages 194 - 201 which locks you into Slothrop’s sexual encounter with Katje.
The big looming question from this passage: Was Katje positioned so that Slothrop would have a sexual encounter with her?
With what I’ve read so far, I get the vibe that Katje knows her place and is complicit to the manipulation of Slothrop.
Let us know what you think in the comments.
