DeLillo has published 17 novels (perhaps 18 without verifying one written under an identity), five plays, a screenplay, and a collection of short stories throughout the course of a career spanning more than fifty years. The work, which covers topics such as Hitler, 9/11, rock music, assassination, mathematics, cryogenics, and more, has illuminated our time without consciously intending to do so.
Unlike his contemporaries, both living and dead, DeLillo is more concerned in broad issues than narrow self-examinations. For instance, the underworld. His masterpiece’s 25th anniversary came in October of last year. Even though it seems impossible for one to attempt to convey what it is about. The 1951 Shot Heard Round the World, the discovery of Russia’s nuclear capacity, this waste management executive, Frank Sinatra, and a cruel nun are all mentioned.
With three 1980s novels—The Names, Libra, and White Noise—DeLillo became the sixth living author to be admitted into the prestigious Library of America in November, and he did so with the arrival of what is without a doubt the greatest author photo ever.
