About The Author
Don DeLillo
Don DeLillo, born in 1936, is the author of thirteen novels, five plays, and numerous short stories. His first novel, Americana (1971), marked him as a significant literary figure. Novels that followed solidified his reputation as a distinctive and compelling voice in late-twentieth-century American fiction. DeLillo’s comic talent is evident in White Noise (1985), which won the National Book Award, and Underworld (1997), which features vivid portrayals of Jackie Gleason and Lenny Bruce.
