The mafia in Vineland

[Mark Kohut]

I keep thinking of how the mafia," "organized crime' as the Justice department still called it" moved into
mainstream American society during the time Vineland is set.........

And continues to the present...........

>From The Godfather wedding [in Vineland, as someone wrote], thru The Sopranos on TV......

New book I just learned about: McMafia?.....mass involvement in business and society of the mafia.

I think Pynchon got this too and it may be a key theme in Vineland.....
