Peter Coviello: Vineland Reread

[David Morris]

Robert, sexism in VL, shortlist:

1.  Frenesi betrays almost everyone she knows **for no other offered
reason**   than that he’s a manly cop in a uniform.

2.  Prairie almost masturbates as Brock Vond flies  away, wishing he’d
swoop back down for her.

These two most central female characters in COL49 desire, deep down, to be
dominated by men in uniforms.
