NP except Yes P, who in Oedipa's journey prophesied Joan Didion's--as a metonym, etc. So to speak.

"Accounts of her political transformation often place a special stress on
“Where I Was From,” her revisionist 2003 meditation on her native state and
familial mythos. Writing in The New Republic after her death, Jacob
Bacharach described it as “a narrative of conversion — or, maybe, of
repudiation: the discovery, after a lifetime of unthinking faith, that the
same lifetime’s worth of steadily accumulating doubts suddenly rolls down
the mountainside and drowns out the old, mumbled liturgies.” ..........."The
migration Didion made away from a certain kind of conservative nostalgia,
Bacharach suggests in his essay, is “a metonym for a larger American
experience of history as a dream from which we have to wake up in order to
write it down.”
