They aren't Hemingway's war heroes or Lawrence's colliers or Fitzgerald's rich. Her books are filled with ordinary people rather than desperate characters, and though the narrative may be powered by history, romance, murder or some Twilight Zone weirdness, the world they inhabit is ordinary too. Now let's apply our delta to another writer, Daphne du Maurier, who in the guise of a best-selling author published a couple of dozen novels and short story collections between the late 1920s and her death in 1989. But to readers such as myself who don't remember the '70s all that well, the book is about a woman who gets bitten by a cat and freaks out. It was written in the 1970s and those who remember that decade can doubtless read between the lines of cocktail party chatter and find some meaning in the story of New York lawyers living in a slum-decaying neighborhood they would probably say the book is about the decline of Western civilization, the return to the animal, something like that. Take something like Paula Fox's highly lauded Desperate Characters. What really makes books shape-shift is when you add delta, that little triangular element of time, into the equation.

Different people have various interpretations about the same work, of course-based on their nationality, gender, education and so on-but everyone will agree that Angela's Ashes is brilliant and horrible and Irish, and only literary theorists could be fooled into thinking otherwise. Daphne du Maurier, I'll Never Be Young Againīooks change, before our very eyes.

I would enter the moods of these people, share their troubles, love their friends, act in some way as a faithful servant.
