“The married copywriters met their secretaries,” DeLillo writes, “or the secretaries of other writers, or the tall and lissome secretaries of account executives, white-shod and well-spoken, and went about their tender regimen of lunchtime love…” DeLillo worked as a copywriter for Ogilvy & Mather in the 1960s. He hasn’t seen Mad Men, because he only watches “sports, documentaries and movies, never continuing series”. (via DeLillo on Mad Men and Writing)
