A brilliant satire of mass culture and the numbing effects of technology, White Noise tells the story of Jack Gladney, a teacher of Hitler studies at a liberal arts college in Middle America. Jack and his fourth wife, Babette, bound by their love, fear of death, and four ultramodern offspring, navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism. Then a lethal black chemical cloud, unleashed by an industrial accident, floats over there lives, an "airborne toxic event" that is a more urgent and visible version of the white noise engulfing the Gladneys--the radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, and TV murmurings that constitute the music of American magic and dread.

评分之所以想要读读德里罗是因为看了《大都会 COSMOPOLIS》的电影。据说里面的对白基本上都是直接从小说里摘出来,其短平快风格、奇怪的用词、绝妙的荒谬可笑之感听起来相当对我胃口。1985年出版的《白噪音》是他的代表作,读了两页就感觉来了,果然乐不可支。小说主题大概是中年知...
