...I just felt like pointing out that little tidbit. When I first read the section where Jack Ruby listens to Weird Beard, it felt clearly metafictional; after all, one of DeLillo's characters was saying "We are for real." As it turns out, many of the characters are for real... including the ones that fall into the category of too strange to be made up.
