Title: Syrup of Ipecac is Cheaper
Review: DeLillo is a shallow genius. He often makes witty observations and quips and attempts to assemble these (in Underworld using the pathetic motif of baseball as his "glue") into a coherent novel. He fails, as he did in White Noise and Libra.Unfortunately DeLillo, the unabashed postmodernist, substitutes superficiality in character, plot, and trivializes the novel as an artform while garnering reviews from hungry critics desperate for anything palatable. For them any food tastes good (look at Grisham, Clancy, King etc, gawdawful) as they are very hungry.This made me vomit. Go check out some ipecac if you want to induce vomiting, it's much cheaper.
