People everywhere are
absorbed in conversation. [...]
Conversation is life, language is the
deepest being. We see the patterns repeat,
the gestures drive the words. It is the
sound and picture of humans communicating.
[...] Every conversation is a
shared narrative, a thing that surges
forward, too dense to allow space for the
unspoken, the sterile. The talk is
unconditional, the participants drawn in
completely.
-- Don
DeLillo, The Names
(1982)
