    1. Don DeLillo

    White Noise

    (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

    "Though it's pitched at a level of absurdity slightly above that of real life, White Noise captures the quality of daily existence in media-saturaated, hyper capitalistic postmodern America so precisely, you don't know whether to laugh or whimper." —Lev Grossman, Time "I can't think of a few books written in my lifetime that have received such quick and wise acclaim while going on to exercise so deep an influence for decades thereafter. I can think of even fewer books more likely to remain essential guides to life in the Information Age, another quarter century one." —Richard Powers “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
