So what's the point of reading Vineland now?
Trump?  Me Too?  Satire?

It’s a well-written good story with, yes, some background political/social elements, but there’s always some of that sh*t about, bound to appear in any perceptive author’s story. 

To say _Vineland_ is mainly about that is like saying _Wait for Marcy_ by Rosamond du Jardin is about drunk driving because there’s an incident of it at Marcy’s prom.
