 English 342: Essay Assignments
Peter Stillman and Peter Stillman are polar opposites in terms of language, that is, Stillman seeks to create language into a specific universal language while Peter must rely on the interpretive qualities of language in order to communicate at all.
Stillman is concerned with the arbitrariness of language, the relativity of what he says is the separation of God from the language of men.
Stillman, by naming his son Peter, practices this sentiment which literally undercuts his own work by proving that there is no such thing as one signifier for one signified object.

 Throughout his texts,
Peter does indeed construct words on his own, but they are meaningless to anyone but himself, and thus, their value as means of communication is negligible.
Peter was eventually freed from his father’s prison, but the damage that thirteen years of solitude wrought upon the boy was irreparable.
Peter, however, points out that although he understands his own language, he knows "nothing." Thus, there is nobody who understands Peter Stillman, nobody to grant him recognition of his identity.

Quinn is hired by Peter and Virginia Stillman to protect them from Peter’s father, another Peter Stillman, who has recently been released from jail where he was incarcerated for abusing his son in a language experiment where the elder Stillman wished to discover the original language, untainted by the already set languages of the world.
The younger Peter and Virginia fear that the elder Peter is now on a mission to kill them and Quinn’s job is to simply keep the elder man away from his son and daughter-in-law.
Peter and Virginia are trying to get Quinn to take the case, the “real” Auster is trying to get Quinn to believe his views on Quixote and Quinn and the narrator are both trying to justify the actions they took in solving and understanding their place in the text.

Stillman is eventually caught, judged to be insane, and imprisoned; meanwhile the child, Peter Stillman junior by default, undergoes intensive speech therapy but never fully recovers.
Instead of solving the Stillman case, connecting the crime (signifier) with the motive (signified), Quinn descends into his own delusional world that is ultimately undermined by yet a third narrator at the novel's conclusion.
One pattern is echoed in another at the conclusion of Peter Stillman's (Jr) monologue when the "gutters" between the panels are suddenly rendered three dimensional by the switch from negative to positive space, dramatically transforming the entire page into a cell door (22).

 Steven E. Alford Article
Impersonating Auster, Quinn promises to protect Peter Stillman, fils, from his father, Peter Stillman, who abused him as a child and is about to be released from prison.
As Quinn notes, Stillman's movements vanished into thin air: "the pictures did exist—not in the streets where they had been drawn, but in Quinn's red notebook." The "book" of Stillman's voyages turns out to be simply that: something that appears not on the streets of Manhattan, but in a red notebook.
When Quinn’s mapping of Stillman’s walks reveals the words THE TOWER OF BABEL traced on the streets of Manhattan, Quinn discovers a text that is not inscribed in space, but in which space is the arena for the possibility of its trace.

Stillman concludes: "In short, this book is not a scholarly or analytic discussion of dialectics or a complete dialectical critique of Rothbard's libertarianism.
But perhaps it was meant to be not a scholarly work but a book dedicated to reshaping libertarian theory and ideology.
