White Noise

Don DeLillo is an American novelist widely regarded as one of the essential voices in American literature for his incisive, prescient accounts of modern life, media, consumerism, and the forces of history. Born in the Bronx, New York, in 1936, DeLillo studied at Fordham University and began his career writing for magazines before publishing his debut novel Americana (1971). DeLillo's major novels include White Noise (1985), which won the National Book Award and is one of the definitive American novels of postmodernity; Libra (1988), a fictional account of Lee Harvey Oswald; Mao II (1991); Underworld (1997), a sprawling masterwork about the Cold War and American history; Falling Man (2007); and Point Omega (2010).
