Reviews
As with any edited collection, some chapters are stronger than others. However, it is an important contribution to the field, which adds to the growing body of scholarship on the most recent works by an author whose career dates back to the 1960s. This volume particularly demonstrates why more attention needs to be paid to DeLillo's formally ascetic late stage as in Hemingway's so-called Iceberg Theory, DeLillo's deliberately concise sentences reveal only a fraction of the depths that lie beneath the surface.--Orbit This volume, which brings together established DeLillo scholars and smart newcomers, is timely in more senses than one. Its able contributors are mindful of DeLillo's career continuities (his interest in language, his prescience, his attention to both the main currents and the eddies of American culture) even as they explore the distinctive features of this author's robust post-millennial oeuvre, including novels, short stories, and drama. An indispensable collection for all who take an interest in DeLillo, in contemporary letters, and in the world as it is revealed by our fictions.--David Cowart, University of South Carolina
