Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A definitive edition of a modern master: three essential works that reveal his incomparable style, dark humor, and uncanny sensitivity to the complexities of "living in dangerous times"Includes White Noise, now a major motion picture starring Adam Driver and Greta GerwigThis first volume in the Library of America Don DeLillo edition presents three indispensable novels from the 1980s, published here with new prefaces from the author. The Names (1982) was DeLillo's breakthrough novel, a book that, as he reflects here, spanned a broader expanse than his earlier novels. James Axton, a risk analyst tasked with assessing dangers for his corporate clients from terrorism and other forms of political upheaval, uncovers evidence of ritual murders committed by a cult obsessed with ancient languages. The investigations of these crimes yields a profound series of meditations on identity, disconnection, and the nature of language itself. Part campus satire, part midlife character study, and part fever dream of a hyperreality that has become uncannily familiar, the National Book Awardwinning White Noise (1985) creates a terrifying yet wickedly funny portrait of a postmodern America that is still recognizably ours, a world where children chant brand names in their sleep, university professors read nothing but cereal boxes, and you are the sum of your data. Three years in the research and writing, Libra (1988) offers a magnificent counter-history of the JFK assassination and a nuanced portrait of the presidents murderer. DeLillo has observed that the novel, working within history, is also outside it, correcting, clearing up, finding balances and rhythms. The result is a revelatory new depiction of a defining event in twentieth-century history. Rounding out the volume are two hard-to-find essays directly related to the novels: American Blood, the 1983 Rolling Stone article that was DeLillos first effort to grapple with the JFK assassination and the welter of information and speculation the events of the killing and Oswalds own murder by Jack Ruby; and Silhouette City, an assessment of extremist right-wing groups and the troubling presence of neo-Nazism in the United States.
