Praise for Great Jones Street:
"Brilliant . . . deeply shocking . . . [DeLillo] looks at rock
music, nihilism and urban decay."
-Diane Johnson, The New York Review of Books
"Luminous . . . finally, a novel that understands rock and
roll!"
-Jon Pareles, The Village Voice
"DeLillo has the force and imagination of Thomas Pynchon or
John Barth, with a sense of proportion and style which these
would-be giants often lack."
-Irish Times
"[A] wild comic [vision] of a post-'60s America as medieval
hellscape."
-Vulture
