White Noise

Funny, frightening and horribly real, this is a masterful satire of a culture which has lost its moorings. Brilliant.

This was hard...
I wanted to like it, I liked a lot of it, but it overall didn't seem to work for me. I struggled to get into it, it felt meandering and self satisfied.

Honestly, if section two “The Airborne Toxic Event” was a standalone short story with no other edits, it would be incredible.

have fallen into a reading slump yet this was a good remedy. the satire is amusing if not occasionally tedious and there's some genuinely compelling themes about mortality and childhood. something about delillo's writing style clicks with me more often than not. pretty great stuff

Exactly. Look past the violence, Jack. There is a wonderful brimming spirit of innocence and fun.
