20 years later, The Body Artist feels not merely relevant, but essential

Early in  The Body Artist by Don DeLillo, Lauren Hartke eats breakfast with her husband, Rey Robles, a Spanish-born film director. To say that they eat together would be imprecise; they exist in the same space a rented home with the coastal sky in sight but they speak past and around each other. Rey eats a fig, and the author describes the consumption as a performance: he bites off the stem, splits it open with his thumbnails and scoops a measure of claret flesh out of the gaping fig skin. He dropped this stuff on his toast the flesh, the mash, the pulp and then spread it with the bottom of the spoon, blood-buttery swirls that popped with seedlife.
