Praise for White Noise: Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction ‚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
