Vineland

[Thomas Vieth]

I think the Tube is much more important. The Tube not only Vineland's
variation on Gravity'S Rainbow's Hollywood movies (which would make it
important enough as metaphor and allegory), but it is also the very
instrument of fascism! Think of the passage close to the end, where the
older folks of the family reunion sit around and wonder wether the
darkness of political America is only lit by a bunch of tubes. When I
remember correctly even the term fascism appears somewhere there.
