I have discussed this aspect of Blanchot’s essay elsewhere. See Adam Thurschwell, “Law and Litera-
ture and the Right to Death,” in Gert Hofmann, ed., 
Figures of Law: Studies in the Interference of Law
and Literature
(Tübingen: A. Francke Verlag, 

),

. The notion that there is a deep connec-
tion between the meaning-function of language and death is hardly unique to Blanchot. For a contem-
porary meditation on this theme in Hegel and Heidegger’s work, see Giorgio Agamben, 
Language and
Death: The Place of Negativity
, K. Pinkus and M. Hardt, trans. (Minneapolis: University of Minnsota
Press, 

).

. This is not to say that the cyber-capitalist and the terrorist are opposed
at all points; indeed, DeLillo, at least, makes it clear that at their extremes, they can begin to merge.
Faced with the imminent loss of his entire fortune in the currency markets and the likelihood that he will
be murdered in the near future, Eric Packer, perhaps for the first time, faces directly upon his own
death—a “principle of fate that he’s always known would come clear in time”—and discovers, again
perhaps for the first time, a reason to “begin the business of living”:
. . . [T]here was trembling pleasure to be found, and joy at all misfortune, in the swift pitch
of markets down. But it was the threat of death at the brink of night that spoke to him most
surely about some principle of fate he’s always known would come clear in time.
Now he could begin the business of living.
