John Carvill on Ian MacDonald's deep readings of the Beatles' songs:

	. . . many on the Left have long sought explanations for how
	(and why) the various ‘revolutions’ and ‘movements’ of the ‘60s
	failed, and these questions have fuelled some of the most
	interesting political fiction written about the era, notably Thomas
	Pynchon’s 1990 book Vineland, which shares many of
	MacDonald’s themes, as does Pynchon’s recent, semi-
	autobiographical ‘psychedelic noir’ novel, Inherent Vice. . .
