INTRODUCTION

Don DeLillo was born on November 20, 1936 in the Bronx neighborhood of New York, to an Italian immigrant family. DeLillo had little exposure to literature until the age of 18, when he describes being captivated by the power and beauty of language. He attended Fordham University in New York, but found the city to be a much more interesting playground, citing its access to experimental art, jazz and film (he describes the filmmaker Frenchman Jean-Luc Godard was a major influence on his early work). He had a brief stint in the world of advertising, and although he claims it was an uninteresting period in his life, his obsession with American media and culture can be traced back there, as well as his immigrant background. DeLillo's first novel, Americana (1971), traces these cultural and media issues through the travels of a television executive who attempts to rediscover America through a project film. DeLillo delves into deeper questions about death, fame, cults, and consumerism in End Zone (1972), about a football player, and Great Jones Street (1973), about a music star reclusive rock. His subsequent series of books - Ratner's Star (1976), The Player (1977), Running Dog (1978) and Amazons (1980, written under the pseudonym Cleo Birdwell) - all deal with highly fictional worlds Specifically. For example, Ratner's Star is about astronomy, and the Amazons capture the "real" memories of a woman playing in the National Hockey League.

DeLillo moved to Greece for a few years and wrote The Names (1982), largely set in Greece. When he returned to the United States and wrote White Noise in 1985, his work gained public attention, winning the National Book Award. Later, DeLillo focused more on conspiracy and sectarianism in Libra (1988) and Mao II (1991). His masterpiece, Underworld (1998), follows the second half of the 20th century and explores celebrities, consumerism, and extravagance. While many reviewers praised it, most readers were unable to finish the 827-page book. DeLillo has also written two plays - The Day Room (1986) and Valparaiso (1999), and he recently published the novels The Body Artist (2001) and Pafko at the Wall (2001), released on the occasion of the anniversary. New York 50th Anniversary. Baseball giant Bobby Thomson's home win over the Dodgers. The short story is an adaptation of the opening pages of Underworld, about a number of people, famous and not-so-famous, on this historic day.
DeLillo shows no signs of slowing down in producing or collecting awards, and his reclusive hobby doesn't seem as damaging as that of his main postmodern literary counterpart, Thomas Pynchon. Though some readers find his writing cold and abstract, DeLillo blends intellectualism with human character and a dark sense of humor that few writers, living or dead, have. can do it.
