VLVL Sketchy in spots?

I think it works in VL too. For example, the Czech conspiracy in VL is
left unexplained and the Life & Non-Life Insurance cabal simply
disconnects like your  cell phone conversation when your satellite's
orbit cuts through a hot spot in space. 
The contradictions are too many to list, but we should wonder what on
earth DL is doing hanging out with Ralph Wayvone after what he did to
her.  Normal P-reality. Paranoid-Reel-Reality and Anti-denouement. 

 Robert, replying to Davemark, suggested that the characters in VL are
not one-dimentional caricatures. I agree. Prairie is obviously not a
one-dimentional caricature. But what about Vato and Blood?
One-dimentional men, living in a one-dimentional society? Is that it? Is
this novel more Marcuse-Freudian than GR? 

Don't know.
