It's one of my fave delillo novel.
I usually don't like his writing in first person, not difficult, but a little bit "heavy" although he's considered the master of "minimal post-modern", but here is perfect, very personal and fluent, bizarre and deep.
cool dialogues, that family is wonderful, the kids are amazing.
have a nice time reading it!
at the moment I'm reading great jones street, always by don delillo, but honestly is nothing special... also here first person narration, lot of contemplation on old-fashioned details, the story is not even that interesting... talks about a rockstar hiding from celebrity.
RUNNING DOG is another cool one by dondelillo, and so is MAOII. once he came in italy for a reading festival years ago and he is a really smart and polite person, he answered many stupid questions in a very intelligent way.
