Thomas Pynchon: Vineland (Politics Cult)
This is an excellent book by Pynchon, in the true Steinbeck vein. Nobody has been able to put on paper a truer manifestation of life in California from the 60s to the 80s. Its the best of fictional politics insofar as politics are a fiction designed by people pretending to be non fiction. The writing is the most normal ive read of Pynchon, which is normally a drawback, but in this case the reversal makes it seem so much more true. The characters and the military industrial politico complex is described truthfully and factually. You may notice the preponderance of the word Truth here, and unlike Truthiness, it is used truely. True dat. Excellent.
