Don DeLillo, American Original is a startlingly original and
provocative reinterpretation of one of the most important novelists
of the 20th and 21st centuries. Adopting a direct approach that
steers clear of debates with secondary literature and covering the
full arc of Don DeLillo's career from A to Z - Americana (1971) to
Zero K (2016) - Michael Naas shows that the extraordinary power,
authority, insight, and inventiveness of DeLillo's fiction are the
result of the way it traffics everywhere in contraband goods and
narratives, in doubleness or duplicity of every kind, in multiple
voices, story lines, times, places, and media that at once
interrupt and complement one another. This is a book that invites
skimming and dipping, structured into easily digestible sections on
everything from weapons and drugs to erotica, nuclear waste, and
secret societies, each preceded by humorous and incisive epigraphs
from DeLillo's novels. Michael Naas reads DeLillo's fiction as a
way of life or as equipment for living, rather than as a critical
puzzle to be solved - and thereby opens up new horizons for
thinking about why literature matters in the 21st century.
