Atdtda22: Berliner, 626-627

[Paul Nightingale]

A brief section that opens with an allusion to the JFK myth, be it
misleading or not: either way, the allusion takes us outside the narrative,
asking the reader to supply the meaning. Again, one might return to Kit's
wakening, his experience of the non-referential tie (624): one cannot impose
meaning, "so we must resort to Phenomenology, and accept the literal truth
of his delusion" (626). Against such relativism Kit retains his belief in
something called the real world ("... if that doesn't bring him back to the
real world", 627); but Dingkopf, previously so determined to impose his
interpretation of the world, is here non-judgemental when discussing the
Berliner.
