The little title less vignettes were interesting. Small brief insights into more characters. I’m starting to see how it all connects. Slowly.

I like this a lot. Much more than white noise, despite the fact that there is much less of a narrative in this or really a direction for the plot.

It’s kind of feeling like J G Ballard in a way. Maybe…

You could have given this to me without an author on the front and I would have been able to tell you with 100% certainty that DeLillo wrote this.

I’m really impressed. Really starting to get a feeling for the characters. I like these little vignettes of everyone’s lives and how the narrative seems to jump from one person to the next.

Thoroughly enjoying this thus far. I feel like I had a hard time getting into white noise when I read it a couple years ago and I feel much better about DeLillos writing this time around. I understand the dialogue more. Such a starkly distinct style. Hoping to make a bit chunk of progress on this through MDW.
