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."

此人被誉为当代美国最伟大的四大作家之一,其他三位分别是菲利普.罗斯、麦卡锡、麦克默特里。想必定有其利害之处,之前国内出版过他几部作品,可惜一部都没有读过,据说此人写过一部很长的《地狱》,成为国际畅销书,非常牛逼,估计也难以翻译过来,而其他当代《白噪音...

评分随着后现代一起落幕的时尚语言,更加毁于一场灾难性的翻译。所有翻译的不明所以的话语,颠簸在作者创作的一个又一个令人不适的场景中。以至于都不太想要评述。译者没有反应作者的真实语言,评述多少是建立在不公平的基础上的。
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...

'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".

评分写得过于直白用力
评分Everything in our lives, yours and mine, has brought us to this moment.
评分“Hysteria at high speeds, day to day, minute to minute. People in free societies don’t have to fear the pathology of the state. We create our own frenzy, our own mass convulsions, driven by thinking machines that we have no final authority over. The frenzy is barely noticeable most of the time. It’s simply how we live.”
