Summary
While DeLillo’s entire oeuvre has been concerned with the exigencies and mysteries of time as it is shaped by human hands into history, time seems to saturate the pages of his more recent works in a new, immersive way, prompting us to consider more carefully art’s capacity to reflect, influence, and challenge not only what we choose to do with the time we have, but our methods of measuring it.
