As repeatedly asserted (by Deleuze and Genette, among others), there is no repetition without variation, and the resulting gap is-almost invariably-filled with comment, as if it were in the nature of repetition to gloss on its own occurrence. Distance and comment being also inherent in ironic discourse, this essay focuses on the way DeLillo 's writing exploits the affinities between repetition and irony.Happe François.
