This blog is dedicated to understanding, analyzing, critiquing, and, of course, enjoying Don DeLillo -- his novels, his plays, his short stories, and his essays. While a particular focus will be given to the interpretive approach known as affect theory (providing, I hope, a new way of looking at his work), all readers of DeLillo will benefit from this site.

Registers of Affect #3: "dreams, visions, intuitions, prayers"
"Think of two parallel lines [...] One is the life of Lee H. Oswald. One is the conspiracy to kill the President. What bridges the space between them? What makes a connection inevitable? There is a third line. It comes out of dreams, visions, intuitions, prayers, out of the deepest levels of the self. It's not generated by cause and effect like the other two lines. It's a line that cuts across causality, cuts across time. It has no history that we can recognize or understand. But it forces a connection. It puts a man on the path of his destiny."
