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."

评分 评分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...

'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".
Everything in our lives, yours and mine, has brought us to this moment.
评分well......not like it so much
评分太精彩了。情节性和思想性俱佳!尤其是作为2011年的作品,对cybercapital的讨论也真是与时俱进了。或者说,dd这本书写得也是蛮收敛了。或者说正如题词献给奥斯特一样,这本书在情节方面加强了很多,节奏感很强,如同一场资本的加速。然而,dd自己的风格又是一种减速,不断以对话减缓速度。不断前进的未来和寸步不前的过去之间在此刻的冲突!这是美国的尤利西斯的一天,也是晚期资本主义的盖茨比的美国梦。车不断在前进,却有不断盘旋在城市内;车内是象征符号的交换,车外是以生命对抗资本的个体。individual syndrome vs. corporeal complex! luv it!
评分写得过于直白用力
评分真的太好看了 一点都不想看Cronenberg的电影了 Delillo的奇妙冷峻又邪气的描写比white noise更进一步 a day in the life 相比Ulysses更喜欢这个
