Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland is a sprawling postmodern novel set in California during the Reagan era, examining the legacy of the 1960s counterculture through a blend of political satire, family drama, paranoia and surreal humour. Although less experimental than Gravity's Rainbow, it has become an increasingly sought-after modern first edition.
FILM ‘ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER’: Paul Thomas Anderson’s acclaimed film is loosely inspired by Vineland.
