Peripheralizing DeLillo tracks the historical arc of Don
DeLillo’s poetics as it recomposes itself across the genres of
short fiction, romance, the historical novel, and the philosophical
novel of time. Drawing on theories that capital, rather than the
bourgeoisie, is the displaced subject of the novel, Thomas Travers
investigates DeLillo’s representation of fully commodified social
worlds and re-evaluates Marxist accounts of the novel and its
philosophy of history. Deploying an innovative re-periodisation,
Travers considers the evolution of DeLillo’s aesthetic forms as
they register and encode one of the crises of contemporary
historicity: the secular dynamics through which a society organised
around waged work tends towards conditions of under- and
unemployment. Situating DeLillo within global histories of uneven
and combined development, Travers explores how DeLillo’s
treatment of capital and labour, affect and narration, reconfigures
debates around realism and modernism. The DeLillo that emerges from
this study is no longer an exemplary postmodern writer, but a
composer of capitalist epics, a novelist drawn to peripheral zones
of accumulation, zones of social death whose surplus populations
his fiction strives to re-historicise, if not re-dialecticise as
subjects of history.
