Don DeLillo greift in seinen Romanen die großen Fragen Amerikas auf. In den Achtzigern schrieb er allerdings eine Eishockeysatire – und verleugnete sie. Durch den Hype um die Serie »Heated Rivalry« wurde sie wiederentdeckt.#Kultur #Literatur #Personalien #DonDeLillo #NewYorkTimes

Sometimes movies are better than their books. I know there are may people who will very strongly disagree with me, but so far White Noise (on Netflix) is more enjoyable to me than the book was. I know Don DeLillo is a national treasure and super deep, etc. and if I were to dive in and really study his book(s) I'm sure I"d find a richness and depth of meaning or whatever that would make any film pale by comparison.

The fact, however, remains that I am finding the movie to be colorful, flavorful, and gripping. The book was great, but to me it felt cold, sterile, bleak. I feel like the movie brings home some part of the experience I was missing form the book.

Die Illusion der Sicherheit – wie westliche Romane den Frieden erzählen, den es nie gab - Kolumne

Frieden war im Westen Wohlstand, im Osten Parole – und in der Literatur beides Illusion. Von Böll bis Brasch, von Christa Wolf bis DeLillo zeigt dieser Essay, warum Sicherheit die schönste Lüge der Nachkriegszeit blieb – und Literatur ihr ehrlichster Widerspruch war.

3 things about David Cronenberg’s COSMOPOLIS [2012]

1. A slow elevator, soundtracked with Satie.
2. The way Juliette Binoche simply vanishes.
3. Eggplant leftovers for the chauffeur.

DeLillo's work drags a reclusive and idealistic artist into the global politics he speaks to and lives against. Setting up to be a devastating story.

An artist/writer is pulled out of his seclusion to engage the postmodern world of terrorism and war, a struggle of individual consciences against mob thought. I chose this for the theme and as a follow-up to Alameddine's "Comforting Myths."
