Description: Praise for White Noise : Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction "When I reread White Noise , I was struck by how hilarious it still is, how accurate to its moment and yet, like all great books, how it also speaks to this moment; the same absurdities and ironies still apply. . . You now understand what people mean when they notice something in real life and describe it as DeLillo-esque. And things have only become more DeLillo-esque." --Dana Spiotta, The New York Times Book Review "One of the most ironic, intelligent, grimly funny voices to comment on life in present-day America . . . [ White Noise ] poses inescapable questions with consummate skill." --Jayne Anne Phillips, The New York Times Book Review "DeLillo's eighth novel should win him wide recognition as one of the best American noveslists. . . . the homey comedy of White Noise invites us into a world we're glad to enter. Then the sinister buzz of implication makes the book unforgettably disturbing." -- Newsweek "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 White Noise a moving picture of a disquiet we seem to share more and more." -- Los Angeles Times " White Noise captures the quality of daily existence in media-saturated, hyper-capitalistic postmodern America so precisely, you don't know whether to laugh or whimper." -- TIME "DeLillo is a prodigiously gifted writer. His cool but evocative prose is witty, biting, surprising, precise . . . White Noise [is] arguably [his] best novel." -- The Washington Post "Its brilliance is dark and sheathed. And probing. In White Noise , Don DeLillo takes a Geiger-counter reading of the American family, and comes up with ominous clicks." -- Vanity Fair "A stunning performance from one of our most intelligent novelists . . . Tremendously funny." --The New Republic "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." -- The Guardian
