Vineland by Thomas Pynchon

Vineland by Thomas Pynchon

The inspiration for One Battle After Another Thomas Pynchon's wretchedly funny dystopian thriller, sending up the end days of the American dream Vineland, a zone of blessed anarchy in northern California, is the last refuge of hippiedom, a culture devastated by the sobriety epidemic, Reaganomics, and the Tube. Here, in an Orwellian 1984, Zoyd Wheeler and his daughter Prairie search for Prairie's long-lost mother, a Sixties radical who ran off with a narc. Full of quasi-allegorical characters, elaborate unresolved subplots, corny songs, movie spoofs, and illicit sex, Vineland is vintage Pynchon. 'That rarest of birds: a major political novel about what America has been doing to itself, to its children, all these many years' Salman Rushdie
