How lucky I am to get to read and reread books for my living (and teach and write about them). Fun Fact: #DeLillo's Cosmopolis is dedicated to #PaulAuster. I can definitely see a/the resemblance.

Finishing up a re-read before embarking on my next reading adventure later this afternoon.

Speaking of Airborne Toxic Events, the only thing #deLillo got wrong in the novel from which I've borrowed the phrase ('White Noise') is that instead of a single region it's an entire continent that's involved, and ultimately, the globe itself.
I’m sure someone has beaten me to this observation, but do we basically have the plot of White Noise happening in rural Ohio this month? #whitenoise #delillo #eastpalestine #derailment #disasters
These #paperbacks arrived today! They're both about #time in #USliterature. My monograph starts w/#CharlesBrockdenBrown and ends w/#EdwardP.Jones. W/chapters in between on #Poe, #ElizabethStuartPhelps, and #Dreiser. A different through-line, to be sure. The #edited volume has outstanding chapters by many of the best #literarycritics. #Looby on #Tucker's The Partisan Leader, #Goble on #DeLillo, #Spires on #Black serial fiction, #Hale on #Faulkner. And more. Cost w/CUP discount, ~23.00 each.
So excited @litstudies that these two books -- my monograph on #time about #US literature from #CharlesBrockdenBrown to #EdwardPJones and a volume on #time with #essays about #Shaker dancing, #DeLillo, #Faulkner, et al -- are coming out in paperback on 2.2.23. $28.99 each. Thank you #CambridgeUniversityPress.
Just finished reading #Delillo's #WhiteNoise and it may be the whitest book about white people i've ever read. Whiteness like some sticky goo that has oozed onto everything. Consumer academic health philosophical whiteness. Damn. Very good book. Now on to the movie. I'm excited for the movie.

I was pleasantly not disppointed by the #film adaptation of White Noise. This, in spite of it being kinda quirky & charming. Which...isn't really my take on #DeLillo, in general.
Gonna have to go back and rewatch Cosmopolis now. My memory of it was it being somewhat 'meh'. But apparently I rated it 4 out of 5 stars at the time. Hrmph. Perhaps Cronenberg tricked me. Or gave me brain-worms. #movies
I'm starting my day watching #WhiteNoise. I didn't care for the book. Partially bc I was madly in love with #DeLillo's #Underworld & they're very different. If I had a Franzen itch, White Noise would scratch it. Speaking - I had NO idea #TheCorrections was already made into a film?!! Imdb says 2012. (I did love this book). And look who the director is.

Read most #DeLillo books. Big #Baumbach fan. Played #LCDSoundsystem's new track 100xs on #Tidal. Follow
@mikel_jollett because of his band's name. Possess every bona fide of a #GenXer. And yet, I haven't seen one ad for #WhiteNoiseMovie. Either my evasion of targeted ads is working or @Netflix could use some marketing support.

'The self-referential media mash of #DeLillo's world, where brand names become a mantra (the working title for White Noise was Panasonic, but he was refused permission to use it), makes perfect sense in the 21st Century, where our experiences are endlessly processed, photographed, commented on, reshaped and shared.'

Imagine having a mother who constantly tells you: "This is just like White Noise!" but doesn't realize the book is funny! Amazing. It's like she was invented by Don DeLillo! #WhiteNoise #film #DeLillo https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/01/white-noise-book-movie-adaptation-don-delillo/672233/
