Title: suburbia just isn't this strange
Product review: DeLillo is supposed to be one of our best contemporary novelists. Alas, when I picked up this book, I found a world of Hitler obsessions, death worries, multiple divorces, sexual blackmail, and toxic waste disasters. Perhaps there is some satyrical level that I didn't get, but I couldn't identify with any of this. THe characters are two dimensional and the story is too outlandish to be taken seriously.Is it my imagination, or are contemporary novels supposed to be bizarre? Sure, American suburbs are like an odd bubble in history, but no one I know is this crazy. This is mediocre.
