“White Noise” by Don DeLillo – Episode 1



Today I discuss Don Delillo’s “White Noise” with ASU student Lucien Dieter, who has some compelling insights into the Postmodern genre.

Segments Include: Initial Thoughts, Brief History, Part 1/2/3, Genre, Favorite Quotes, Relevance, Related Reading.

Our next episode will be with Jennie Peterson on “Mother Night” by Kurt Vonnegut. We will be comparing “Mother Night” to “Slaughterhouse Five” in an extended discussion on creativity and Vonnegut’s progression as a writer.

I am thinking of putting together more general episodes for weeks without guests–episodes based on genre research, grouped authors, or being bookish in general. Please send me feedback and advice by commenting on this website or shooting me an email at mackenzie.gentz@gmail.com.
