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".

這是一本充滿著雄性激素的書,書中充滿瞭被放大的視覺,聽覺,觸覺,嗅覺…和男人身上對於女人的各種性愛欲望,毫不掩飾的剖析瞭一個人——一個男人的“靈魂”——文字直接沒有絲毫遮掩。 作者帶著我以第三人稱的視角窺視瞭主人公看似平凡卻又不平凡的一天。正本書...
評分隨著後現代一起落幕的時尚語言,更加毀於一場災難性的翻譯。所有翻譯的不明所以的話語,顛簸在作者創作的一個又一個令人不適的場景中。以至於都不太想要評述。譯者沒有反應作者的真實語言,評述多少是建立在不公平的基礎上的。

評分太精彩瞭。情節性和思想性俱佳!尤其是作為2011年的作品,對cybercapital的討論也真是與時俱進瞭。或者說,dd這本書寫得也是蠻收斂瞭。或者說正如題詞獻給奧斯特一樣,這本書在情節方麵加強瞭很多,節奏感很強,如同一場資本的加速。然而,dd自己的風格又是一種減速,不斷以對話減緩速度。不斷前進的未來和寸步不前的過去之間在此刻的衝突!這是美國的尤利西斯的一天,也是晚期資本主義的蓋茨比的美國夢。車不斷在前進,卻有不斷盤鏇在城市內;車內是象徵符號的交換,車外是以生命對抗資本的個體。individual syndrome vs. corporeal complex! luv it!
