New PTA Film

[J Tracy]

Vineland was my first Pynchon read( hilarious, dark, and wildly entertaining), and I lived for 8 years in Arcata, which is the central location of the book. I have gone to logger’s and Fisherman’s union halls which also featured plays and music. Unique culture, great university and wonderful place to live. I would definitely be up for a Vineland re-read.
