TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - The Public and the V2 JO - Architectural design A1 - Robbins, Bruce SP - 12 EP - 15 VL - 78 IS - 1 N2 - The London Blitz has come to epitomise the golden age of urban togetherness and bonhomie when the public was bound by a common enemy threat. Through his reading of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, literary critic Bruce Robbins questions the archetypal view of the Second World War as a watershed after which the ideal intact city and its community were ultimately destroyed.
