Hal and Orin on the phone about Himself's suicide (Language and Grammar)
‘But you brought up trailer parks and trailers. I need to confirm some suspicions—two points, right in there, ka-ching. Never having been in a trailer, and even the Discursive O.E.D. having pretty much of a lacuna where trailer-park trailers are concerned.’ ‘And this is the one supposedly nonbats family-member I call. This is who I reach out to.’ ‘It’d be whom, I think.
Context
Same call: Hal cites the Discursive O.E.D.'s "lacuna" on trailer-park trailers, and when Orin complains about the brother he's reaching out to, Hal corrects his case mid-sentence — the who→whom reflex n.110 catalogues as compulsive, live on the wire. (Quote ends mid-speech; Hal's sentence runs on in the raw, hence no closing quote mark.)
