Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Vineland is a 1990 novel by Thomas Pynchon, a postmodern fiction set in California, United States in 1984, the year of Ronald Reagan’s reelection. Pynchon had last explored California in The Crying of Lot 49, and he would return to it later with Inherent Vice.The book follows Zoyd Wheeler, an aging hippie with a beautiful daughter, Prairie, collecting mental disability checks by jumping through a plate-glass window once in a year. It wasn’t until the arrival of his old nemesis, Federal Prosecutor Brock Vond, determined to kill anyone from Zoyd’s community, that Zoyd went into hiding and sent Prairie to a wedding gig with her boyfriend. And there she met someone to uncover her mother’s dark past.Like Lot 49, it can be see as a bridge between pessimistic Pynchon and optimistic Pynchon.It also has its own wiki here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Bookends: The book opens with Zoyd waking up to the sound of blue jays on the roof, and ends with Prairie waking up to Desmond licking her face, with blue jays’ feathers on his face. | |

| Vineland / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: It can be said that Vineland is the cornerstone of Pynchon’s massive universe as it tied-in with his past and future work. DL meeting Prairie is similar to how V. met Mélanie in V. Mucho Maas and The Paranoids from The Crying of Lot 49 appears in Zoyd’s flashback. Takeshi Fumimota from Gravity's Rainbow appears as a clear-headed lunatic and partnered up with DL. She even referenced his suicidal behavior when he’s about to drink a suspected poison cocktail.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Brock Vond is a monster, but you can’t help sympathise with him when he was brought underground to cross the river. | |
