Title: A deception
Review: This book has been debated ad nauseam--is it brilliant, or is it thin? Despite all the hype, the postmodern techniques Dellilo employs have been used before by better writers for better purposes. This book is a slight achievement in both size as well as substance. But Delillo has reached that level of fame where each book becomes a juggernaut, so backed by money, advertising, and blurbs by other writers that it is guaranteed to succeed commercially. If this book had been published under a pseudonym or annonymously, it would have instantly disappeared from view. The writing is so labored, so agonizingly bent on appearing profound, that there is no spontaneity. Self-consciousness and self-reflexiveness are not necessarily proofs of depth. Delillo begins to sound like a parody of himself.
