Introducing Don DeLillo

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Introducing Don DeLillo is the first book-length collection of essays on Don DeLillo, including as well the extraordinary tenth chapter of Ratner's Star and an interview with the author.What is characteristic about DeLillo's books, aside from their contemporary subjects, is their irredeemably heterogeneous texture; they are montages of tones, styles, and voices that have the effect of yoking together terror and wild humor as the essential tone of contemporary America.
