DeLillo article in NY Times

[Doug Millison]

Interesting article by Don Delillo at
http://www.nytimes.com/library/books/090797article3.html.

Good stuff about how he came to write Underworld, about novels and reality, etc:

"Language can be a form of counterhistory. The writer wants to construct a
language that will be the book's life-giving force. He wants to submit to
it. Let
language shape the world. Let it break the faith of conventional re-creation. "

Not a bad test to apply to M&D.

          "The Metropolis strives to reach a mythical point
           where the world is completely fabricated by man,
            so that it absolutely coincides with his desires."
