Don DeLillo, The Body Artist (2001)She found it interesting to think that he lived in overlapping realities.Many things are interesting, fool, but nowhere near true.She reminded herself she needed batteries for the tape recroder.She liked to think. What did she like to think? She was having a dumb day and wanted to blame the fog.Maybe he falls, he slides, if that is a useful word, from his experience of an objective world, the deepest description of space-time, where he does not feel a sense of future direction—he slides into her experience, everyone’s, the standard sun-kissed chronology of events.Am I the first human to abduct an alien?The fog was somber and bronzed low-rolling toward the coast but then lost form on landfall, taking everything with it in amoebic murk. If there is no sequential order expect for what we engender to make us safe in the world, then maybe it is possible, what, to cross from one nameless state to another, except that it clearly isn’t.She reminded herself she needed batteries. She told herself remember.It was the kind of day in which you forgot words and drop things and wonder what it is you came into the room to get because you are standing here for a reason and you have to tell yourself it is just a question of sooner or later before you remember because you always remember once you are here.The thing is communicated somehow. -- source link
