Don DeLillo

I haven't. Sounds intriguing, although I didn't like Bartleby.

DeLillo's said Ratner's Star's one of his favourites and was the most fun to write.

there's no way he didn't have a good laugh writing americana as well, quit his job and wrote this first novel, just adventures all over america,

The "Airborne Toxic Event" from White Noise actually happening in Ohio is very surreal, especially after the film just came out about a month ago.

Derailed train cars in Ohio drained of toxic chemical amid mass evacuation

Nearly 2,000 residents of eastern Ohio remained under evacuation orders on Monday as railroad crews drained and burned off a toxic chemical from five tanker cars of a freight train that derailed in a fiery wreck three days earlier, officials said.

watched white noise last night and today. read the book when i was about 20. the film is really annoying stylistically, in particular the dialogue (although possibly that's because it's got that pithy, artificial style that is in delilos writing, where no one speaks anything like how normal people speak.

it is good to see the pandemic start to be addressed in film though. the collective ignoring of all of that, collective forgetting, is really striking to me.
