书籍简介

“简而言之，这本书会让这个世界——我们的世界，我们每天吃着化学防腐剂和塑料包装面包的世界——变得稍微好一些，稍微有人情味……[品钦的]声音——独特，无可比拟……是二十世纪末美国的声音。”——弗兰克·麦康奈尔，《洛杉矶时报》书评

“1984年夏日的一个清晨，比往常晚了一些……”在加州雾气弥漫的北海岸，维内兰县迷人的红杉林里，居住着形形色色的六十年代幸存者和“尼克松反动”的难民，他们仍在与过去生活的后果作斗争。年迈的嬉皮士怪咖佐伊德·惠勒正准备进行他一年一度的电视疯狂表演，这时他得知，他的老对手，阴险的联邦特工布洛克·冯德，率领着一支全副武装的司法部突击队，已经冲进了维内兰。佐伊德瞬间消失于地下，但在此之前，他派遣十几岁的女儿普雷里踏上了一段黑暗的旅程，探寻她那段不为人知的、难以启齿的过去……

《葡萄园》巧妙地融合了美国流行文化中截然不同的元素——间谍惊悚片、忍者题材小说、肥皂剧、科幻奇幻——正如萨尔曼·鲁西迪在《纽约时报书评》中所言，它是“极其罕见的佳作：一部重要的政治小说，讲述了美国多年来对自身及其子孙后代所做的一切。

“Quite simply, one of those books that will make this world - our world, our daily chemical-preservative, plastic-wrapped bread - a little more tolerable, a little more human … [Pynchon’s] voice - absolutely unmistakeable and absolutely inimitable … is the American voice of the late twentieth century.” —Frank McConnell, Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Later than usual one summer morning in 1984 …” On California’s fog-hung North Coast, the enchanted redwood groves of Vineland County harbor a wild assortment of Sixties survivors and refugees from the “Nixonian Reaction,” still struggling with the consequences of their past lives. Aging hippie freak Zoyd Wheeler is revving up for his annual act of televised insanity when news reaches him that his old nemesis, sinister Federal agent Brock Vond, has come storming into Vineland at the head of a heavily armed Justice Department strike force. Zoyd instantly disappears underground, but not before dispatching his teenage daughter Prairie on a dark odyssey into her secret, unspeakable past …

Freely combining disparate elements from American pop culture - spy thrillers, Ninja potboilers, TV soap operas, sci-fi fantasies - Vineland emerges as what Salman Rushdie has called in the New York Times Book Review “that rarest of birds: a major political novel about what America has been doing to itself, to its children, all these many years.”
