Don DeLillo writes American literary fiction about media, consumer culture, technology, fear and the systems that shape how people understand public events. White Noise follows professor Jack Gladney and his family through everyday consumer life and an airborne toxic event, mixing mortality anxiety with satire of academia and advertising. Underworld moves across decades of Cold War America through baseball, waste, art and political memory, while Libra reimagines the circumstances around Lee Harvey Oswald and the Kennedy assassination. DeLillo's prose is cool, stylised and idea-heavy, with dialogue and repetition often deliberately artificial. His work fits postmodern fiction, American social satire and literary novels about media, history and technological life. Read more Less
