'Exhilarating and wretchedly funny. The most important and mysterious writer of his generation' - Time
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
