Cf. also the flap text for the first edition of VL:
 
"Combining elements of daytime drama and the political thriller, Vineland becomes a strange evocation
of twentieth-century America [...]"
 
I dunno whether Pynchon wrote the jacket copy for VL himself (as he did for M&D and AtD), but I'm
guessing that he at least sanctioned the description.
