Don DeLillo is an American novelist widely associated with postmodern literature, author of works including Underworld, Americana and The Body Artist.

DeLillo's fiction frequently examines media saturation, consumer culture, technology, death and American life. He is regarded as a major figure in late 20th-century American literature.

Three reviews examine DeLillo's work: two highly admiring (Underworld, Americana) and one more critical (Body Art). Common themes: American life, media saturation, grief, and journeys — literal and existential. Readers praise Underworld as a monumental, cannibalistic vision of consumer culture. Americana is described as uneven but ultimately stunning; The Body Artist is sparse and introspective.

For:Readers of literary and postmodern American fiction, reflective readers who enjoy dense, media-aware novels.

 The first half of the novel is absolutely boring, it tells the professional and personal story of a young and ambitious executive in a company whose sole aim is climbing to power, like cav. conte Cattellani style. However, if you manage to endure the reading, after about a hundred pages you can signal and move into the passing lane to enjoy the second part of the book, which is absolutely stunning.
