"1984"; perhaps a few more TRP resonances?

[Mark Kohut]

Remember the pervasiveness of the color "blue" in Vineland, which we explored?

Well, in 1984, some people are 'blue with fright' and there is the image of 'the blue tongue of a hanged man'--hangings being part of cultrual entertainment. 

Dust on everything is the pervasive 'coloring' in 1984.

Remember the book with no name in AtD? There is a book without a title in 1984: it is called The Book. It is a compendium of all the heresies.

Remember the 'spiral staircases' in AtD?  There is this in 1984 (also fore-echoing the beginning of GR? ): "father's hand clutching his own as they hurried down, down into some place deep in the earth, round and round a spiral staircase which rang under his feet."
