Don DeLillo

American · b. 1936

American novelist, playwright, and essayist, widely regarded as one of the central figures of American postmodern fiction. His novels — including White Noise (1985), Libra (1988), Mao II (1991), and the sprawling Underworld (1997) — examine consumer culture, media saturation, mass movements, terrorism, and the texture of contemporary American anxiety, often shadowed by death and the simulacra of mass media. White Noise won the National Book Award.
