Title: Distilled DeLillo
Review: This is a pure distillation of DeLillo. The difficulty of communication, the struggle to connect, and the overwhelming primacy of language. If you want an introduction to DeLillo's major themes, this is the place to look.Although some have complained about how short this book is, there is an excellent reason for it: I doubt you could take any more. This is a literary chocolate torte. Dense and rich to the extreme, you simply can't eat a very big slice. It will overwhelm you, and make you sick.The most shocking thing about this novel is that I don't feel that there is a single word that wasn't chosen with deliberate care. There's a section that describes the writing perfectly:"But this was the effect he had, shadow-inching through a sentence, showing a word in its facets and aspects, words like moons in particular phases."Overall, this is a new masterpiece from DeLillo. What more needs to be said?
