Anglo-American Encounters: England and the Rise of American Literature
One of the most interesting collection of essays on DeLillo I've read so far, and I've read a few; possibly the most intriguing, and all the more impressing for being the work of a single critic.
Mr Osteen, I'm impressed.
The final chapter on Underworld is, I don't know, almost too good. Tight, neat, razor sharp, not once boring in 50 pages, thoroughly so-fucking-brilliant. Did you realize the novel had so many layers, so many possible interpretations? I didn't, either. Jeez.
The book, published in 2000, analyzes all of DeLillo's work up to that point:
ch. 1 early short stories and Americana
ch. 2 End Zone and Great Jones St.
ch. 3 Ratner's Star (with diagrams!)
ch. 4 Running Dog and The Names
ch. 5 Players and Libra
ch. 6 White Noise
ch. 7 Mao II
ch. 8 Underworld
