Lawrence and members of the Frankfurt school - reveals the possibility through an innovative and conceptual form of, borrowing again from Said, a 'democratic and meta-humanistic literature.' From Edward Said's *On Late Style*, the idea of 'late style' reveals a period of DeLillo's literature that proves to be - as F.O. Matthiessen wrote in the American Renaissance - 'literature for democracy.'	cache/7m01bk1485d.txt	txt/7m01bk1485d.txt
