[<i>White Noise</i>] poses inescapable questions with consummate skill.<br><b>--Jayne Anne Phillips, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/>DeLillo's eighth novel should win him wide recognition as one of the best American noveslists. . . . the homey comedy of <i>White Noise </i>invites us into a world we're glad to enter. Then the sinister buzz of implication makes the book unforgettably disturbing.<br><b>--<i>Newsweek </i></b> <p/>A stunning book . . . it is a novel of hairline prophecy, showing a desolate and all-too-believable future in the evidence of an all-too-recognizable present. . . . Through tenderness, wit, and a powerful irony, DeLillo has made every aspect of <i>White Noise</i> a moving picture of a disquiet we seem to share more and more.<br><b>--<i>Los Angeles Times </i></b> <p/><i>White Noise</i> captures the quality of daily existence in media-saturated, hyper-capitalistic postmodern America so precisely, you don't know whether to laugh or whimper. <br><b>--<i>TIME</i></b> <p/>DeLillo is a prodigiously gifted writer. His cool but evocative prose is witty, biting, surprising, precise . . . <i>White Noise </i>[is] arguably [his] best novel. <br><b>--<i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/>Its brilliance is dark and sheathed. And probing. In <i>White Noise</i>, Don DeLillo takes a Geiger-counter reading of the American family, and comes up with ominous clicks.<br><b>--<i>Vanity Fair</i></b> <p/>A stunning performance from one of our most intelligent novelists . . . Tremendously funny.<br><b>--The New Republic </b> <p/>DeLillo's love and flair for language unite to tell us [...] something discomforting about mortality and something profound about the way we deal with it. It may be a novel superabounding with words, but none of them are wasted. <br><b>--<i>The Guardian</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Don DeLillo </b>is the author of sixteen novels, including <i>Zero K</i>, <i>Underworld</i>, <i>Falling Man</i>, <i>White Noise</i>, and <i>Libra</i>.
