fucking loved this novel. Probably not his best, but I have a feeling it will become more and more relevant as time goes on.

I think he's one of the best living writers, but I've heard it's utter dogshit, and this passage isn't helping tbqh.

>>9961833
Yeah I liked it a lot. Keep thinking about it too.

Middle-brow turbo plebs will HATE this book. As they should.

What can I say? almost all of DeLillo's dialogue is stilted and heavy handed, but it's done well I think, with purpose. There are better parts in it, and that part in particular does sound immature, but I cant really place why I like it.

>>9961837
DeLillo has probably never done anything deserving of being called shit.

>>9961869
How does that dialogue sound immature? It's happening right now.

Yes but he uses mostly decades old buzzwords like an old man yelling at the sky would. And no one talks like his characters do, they all sound like Oxford cyborgs. look bro, I like it, in fact I love it, but if you're a Delillo fan you have to come to terms with his flaws.

I'm a Delillo fan and I hear people talking like that all the time. That's what always strikes me as strange.

I think what throws people off is he talks about relevant issues where most writers and most normies don't want to talk about. I'm sure when Players and Mao II were out, even Underworld as well, that people were saying "lmao who the fuck talks about the world trade center towers like that?"

Yes, that is why I said this book would become more relevant later on, in hindsight. Right now, since the general public are ensconced in the "technovirus" and it all seems harmless at a surface glance, the language seems stilted. DeLillo has prescience without it actually being prescience, even Cosmopolis had some, but that doesnt change the fact that Richard has very little subtlety.
