Started my vacation reading with this.
Happy times 😬

Quando finisco un libro di #delillo ho bisogno di uno spazio di decompressione. Il nutrimento è tale che la mia sensibilità sinestetica è in tribolante fase digestiva. E una volta digerito l’antipasto lo rileggo e lo annoto. 😱 Maniacale, sono fuori registro.

La bellezza fisica di questo cedimento: una supplica retroattiva. #scrivere #delillo

Finishing up a re-read before embarking on my next reading adventure later this afternoon.

I’m sure someone has beaten me to this observation, but do we basically have the plot of White Noise happening in rural Ohio this month? #whitenoise #delillo #eastpalestine #derailment #disasters

These #paperbacks arrived today! They're both about #time in #USliterature. My monograph starts w/#CharlesBrockdenBrown and ends w/#EdwardP.Jones. W/chapters in between on #Poe, #ElizabethStuartPhelps, and #Dreiser. A different through-line, to be sure. The #edited volume has outstanding chapters by many of the best #literarycritics. #Looby on #Tucker's The Partisan Leader, #Goble on #DeLillo, #Spires on #Black serial fiction, #Hale on #Faulkner. And more. Cost w/CUP discount, ~23.00 each.

So excited @litstudies that these two books -- my monograph on #time about #US literature from #CharlesBrockdenBrown to #EdwardPJones and a volume on #time with #essays about #Shaker dancing, #DeLillo, #Faulkner, et al -- are coming out in paperback on 2.2.23. $28.99 each. Thank you #CambridgeUniversityPress.

Was muss man machen oder sein, um einen Zugang zu #WeißesRauschen auf #Netflix zu finden? Die literarische Vorlage von Don #DeLillo gelesen haben? US-Amerikaner sein? Dort in den 80ern gelebt haben?

Mir hat der Film leider gar nichts gegeben. Trotz #AdamDriver, trotz obskur-lustiger Studiengänge. Und trotz des sehr gelungenen Abspannes.

Just finished reading #Delillo's #WhiteNoise and it may be the whitest book about white people i've ever read. Whiteness like some sticky goo that has oozed onto everything. Consumer academic health philosophical whiteness. Damn. Very good book. Now on to the movie. I'm excited for the movie.

I was pleasantly not disppointed by the #film adaptation of White Noise. This, in spite of it being kinda quirky & charming. Which...isn't really my take on #DeLillo, in general.

Gonna have to go back and rewatch Cosmopolis now. My memory of it was it being somewhat 'meh'. But apparently I rated it 4 out of 5 stars at the time. Hrmph. Perhaps Cronenberg tricked me. Or gave me brain-worms. #movies

I'm starting my day watching #WhiteNoise. I didn't care for the book. Partially bc I was madly in love with #DeLillo's #Underworld & they're very different. If I had a Franzen itch, White Noise would scratch it. Speaking - I had NO idea #TheCorrections was already made into a film?!! Imdb says 2012. (I did love this book). And look who the director is.

I've been living in a #DeLillo bubble. I've praised #WhiteNoiseMovie to others to discover most don't know who DeLillo is.

Let me help:

Pynchon : Fin de Siecle Boomers as
DeLillo : Fin de Siecle Gen X

You're welcome.

'The self-referential media mash of #DeLillo's world, where brand names become a mantra (the working title for White Noise was Panasonic, but he was refused permission to use it), makes perfect sense in the 21st Century, where our experiences are endlessly processed, photographed, commented on, reshaped and shared.'

Cosmopolis is the only DeLillo novel I’ve read, and I am not sure why because I quite enjoyed it. What do folks think? Think I’ll see if the library has White Noise. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221213-why-don-delillo-is-americas-greatest-living-writer

Imagine having a mother who constantly tells you: "This is just like White Noise!" but doesn't realize the book is funny! Amazing. It's like she was invented by Don DeLillo! #WhiteNoise #film #DeLillo https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/01/white-noise-book-movie-adaptation-don-delillo/672233/

Oh boy. The only way I could think to narrow this down was to list books I’ve read more than once ( so, lots are missing).

In no meaningful order:
1. The Little Prince
2. Cryptonomican
3. Neuromancer
4. The Once & Future King
5. White Noise
6. Santiago: A Myth of the Far Future
7. Tie- LOTR, Dune, and Wheel of Time series
