"One of the most ironic, intelligent, grimly funny voices to
comment on life in present-day America . . . [White Noise]
poses inescapable questions with consummate skill."
--Jayne Anne Phillips, The New York Times Book Review
"DeLillo's eighth novel should win him wide recognition as one of
the best American noveslists. . . . the homey comedy of White Noise
invites us into a world we're glad to enter. Then the sinister buzz
of implication makes the book unforgettably disturbing."
--Newsweek
"A stunning book . . . it is a novel of hairline prophecy, showing
a desolate and all-too-believable future in the evidence of an
all-too-recognizable present. . . . Through tenderness, wit, and a
powerful irony, DeLillo has made every aspect of White Noise a
moving picture of a disquiet we seem to share more and more."
--Los Angeles Times
"It's brilliance is dark and sheathed. And probing. In White Noise,
Don DeLillo takes a Geiger-counter reading of the American family,
and comes up with ominous clicks."
--Vanity Fair
"A stunning performance from one of our most intelligent novelists
. . . Tremendously funny."
--The New Republic
