DeLillo and Fractals?

Paul A. Harris, one scholar who discussed DeLillo's novel, has claimed that The Names needs to be considered as "work that continually loops back through itself, that interweaves strands of narrative across an enmeshed, recursive surface" (196). How is this model of writing reflecting the process of globalization? What stories (be it confusing or boring) about global existence are being told in this book?

P.S. From what I gather from reading reviews, DeLillo's last book seems to approach similar topics (maybe in a less convoluted manner).

Don DeLillo, The Names

Any thoughts on DeLillo's interest in Ancient Greece?


P.S. This is a recent NYTimes article on Don DeLillo:
