I had found Underworld at a local book shop for five bucks, and bought it, but I simply wasn’t ready to undertake such a task less than a week after finishing The Brothers Karamazov (Currently, reviews are coming up about three weeks after I finish the book itself).
So what is Libra? Libra is the Delillo novel I simply happened to read next, as I really wasn’t sure where to go from White Noise. It is breathtaking and everyone should read it. White Noise is a novel about a married couple racing past middle age and wondering which of them will die first.
Delillo’s prose is unique and a joy to behold, his jokes land without fail, the situations he creates are completely mesmerizing, his characters are believable and lovable… where do I stop? At this point, I stop out of pure necessity. When I read White Noise I was simply blown away by everything about the novel. Should I begin this post by once again admonishing myself for taking much too long to read Don Delillo? It’s tempting.
