Vineland is a postmodern novel written by Thomas Pynchon, first published in 1990. The narrative is set in California during 1984, coinciding with the reelection of President Ronald Reagan.
The book utilizes flashbacks to explore the lives of characters who experienced the 1960s, contrasting the rebellious spirit of that decade against the "fascistic Nixonian repression" and the war on drugs. Through these perspectives, the novel portrays the broader transformations in United States society between the 1960s and the 1980s.
