2. are you nostalgic for the 60s? What in VL conjures them for you?

well, yes and no. i'm a sucker for narratives from the 60s, and pictures. and some of the music. It seems like Vineland has a fair amount of 60s material, but honestly the most vivid stuff is the present-day stuff.

Except maybe Zoyd's wedding. the multicolored ice melting on the bemused cat evokes what I liked about the zeitgeist.

And Frenesi's escape from PREP, and the Mexican food afterwards, although I didn't discover tacos till the 70s.
