Time is a corporate asset now. It belongs to the free market system. The present is harder to find... The future becomes insistent.
Don DeLilloStories are consoling, fiction is one of the consolation prizes for having lived in the world.
Don DeLilloOnly a catastrophe gets our attention. We want them, we depend on them. As long as they happen somewhere else. This is where California comes in. Mud slides, brush fires, coastal erosion, mass killings, et cetera. We can relax and enjoy these disasters because in our hearts we feel that California deserves whatever it gets. Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom.
Don DeLilloHuman existence had to have a deeper source than our own dank fluids. Dank or rank. There had to be a force behind it, a principal being who was and is and ever shall be.
