Donald Richard "Don" DeLillo (born November 20, 1936) is an American novelist, playwright and essayist. His works have covered subjects as diverse as television, nuclear war, sports, the complexities of language, performance art, the Cold War, mathematics, the advent of the digital age, politics, economics, and global terrorism. Initially a well-regarded cult writer, the publication in 1985 of White Noise brought him widespread recognition. It was followed in 1988 by Libra, a bestseller. DeLillo has twice been a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction finalist (for Mao II in 1992 and for Underworld in 1998), won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Mao II in 1992 (receiving a further PEN/Faulkner Award nomination for The Angel Esmeralda in 2012), was granted the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction in 2010, and won the Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction in 2013. DeLillo has described his fiction as being concerned with "living in dangerous times", and in a 2005 interview declared, "Writers must oppose systems. It's important to write against power, corporations, the state, and the whole system of consumption and of debilitating entertainments [...] I think writers, by nature, must oppose things, oppose whatever power tries to impose on us."
'A brilliant excursion into the decadence of contemporary culture' - "Sunday Times". Eric Packer is a twenty-eight-year-old multi-billionaire asset manager. We join him on what will become a particularly eventful April day in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Manhattan. He's on a personal odyssey, to get a haircut. Sitting in his stretch limousine as it moves across town, he finds the city at a virtual standstill because the President is visiting, a rapper's funeral is proceeding, and a violent protest is being staged in Times Square by anti-globalist groups. Most worryingly, Eric's bodyguards are concerned that he may be a target ...An electrifying study in affectlessness, infused with deep cynicism and measured detachment; a harsh indictment of the life-denying tendencies of capitalism; as brutal a dissection of the American dream as Wolfe's "Bonfire" or Ellis' "Psycho", "Cosmopolis" is a caustic prophecy all too quickly realized. 'A prose-poem about New York ...DeLillo has always been good at telling us where we're heading ...we ignore him at our peril' - Blake Morrison, "Guardian".
这本书我说不出什么,只有去读才能体会,就像某些画作一样,不需具体谈论,它就是超越的,摆在这。是的,他的文字打开了平日未打开的感官领域,如一个探头捕捉不常用的神经把它们揪了出来。情节是简单而荒诞的,细细的脉络走势有时候竟变得如此生动。唐•德里罗没有把文字玩...
评分100多页的内容,让我看见这位预言型作家的疯狂。“你怎么过一天,就怎么过一生。” 像乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》一样,《大都会》描述了一天之内的故事。 废墟中的写作:9•11与《大都会》 2001年9月11日上午美国航空公司的11号航班撞击由玻璃和钢铁构成的双子座北座的定格照片...
评分 评分读书笔记136:大都会 挺难想象是个年近七十老作家的作品,互联网,it技术,都是这个世纪最前沿的东西,演绎的挺好,很有洞察性的预示了互联网泡沫,甚至911。 互联网这一波行情打破了之前的阶级固化,一大群平民草根,技术宅男一夜之前富可敌国。男主小时候出身出身并不好,28...
