DON DELILLO’S “TIME” IN THE SILENCE. A CORPUS-BASED APPROACH
Stylistically, The Silence (2020) does not stray far from most of Don DeLillo’s 21st-century novels.

description | Stylistically, The Silence (2020) does not stray far from most of Don DeLillo’s 21st-century novels. As early criticism has noted, the key to decoding this slim volume’s significations lies not in its plot, setting, or character, but in theme and, significantly, in its language. By using corpus stylistics’ keyword approach, my paper argues in favour of “time” as a thematic binding element between The Silence and DeLillo’s other 21st -century novelistic endeavours. Moreover, the paper explores the ramifications of this theme in the post-technological setting posited by the novel. |
