Praise for White Noise : Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction "When I reread White Noise , I was struck by how hilarious it still is, how accurate to its moment and yet, like all great books, how it also speaks to this moment; the same absurdities and ironies still apply. . . You now understand what people mean when they notice something in real life and describe it as DeLillo-esque. And things have only become more DeLillo-esque." --Dana Spiotta, The New York Times Book Review "In White Noise , DeLillo nailed a structure of feeling that shapes our present consciousness. What White Noise does well is render visible aspects of social and political life that have been normalized into near invisibility . . . Things still seem to be just like White Noise because of DeLillo's gift for observing the world as if he had just been dropped into it." --Jordan Kisner, The Atlantic "One of the most ironic, intelligent, grimly funny voices to comment on life in present-day America . . . [ White Noise ] poses inescapable questions with consummate skill." --Jayne Anne Phillips, The New York Times Book Review "Don DeLillo's novels have evolved with society, ringing true even when they could or should feel outdated, but none are more prescient than White Noise . . . In the 1980s, DeLillo could never have dreamed where the world would end up, but his universal truths still hold. As we're bombarded with emails, texts, and social media posts, the book is as relevant, if not more, than it ever was. All of us search for meaning as we experience daily FOMO on our phones, wishing for another life, one promised to us by advertising agencies and politicians. For that, the book is a perfect satire of the world we still live in." --Kevin Koczwara, Esquire "DeLillo's eighth novel should win him wide recognition as one of the best American noveslists. . . . the homey comedy of White Noise invites us into a world we're glad to enter. Then the sinister buzz of implication makes the book unforgettably disturbing." -- Newsweek "A stunning book . . . it is a novel of hairline prophecy, showing a desolate and all-too-believable future in the evidence of an all-too-recognizable present. . . . Through tenderness, wit, and a powerful irony, DeLillo has made every aspect of White Noise a moving picture of a disquiet we seem to share more and more." -- Los Angeles Times " White Noise captures the quality of daily existence in media-saturated, hyper-capitalistic postmodern America so precisely, you don't know whether to laugh or whimper." -- TIME "DeLillo is a prodigiously gifted writer. His cool but evocative prose is witty, biting, surprising, precise . . . White Noise [is] arguably [his] best novel." -- The Washington Post "Its brilliance is dark and sheathed. And probing. In White Noise , Don DeLillo takes a Geiger-counter reading of the American family, and comes up with ominous clicks." -- Vanity Fair "A stunning performance from one of our most intelligent novelists . . . Tremendously funny." -- The New Republic "DeLillo's love and flair for language unite to tell us [...] something discomforting about mortality and something profound about the way we deal with it. It may be a novel superabounding with words, but none of them are wasted." -- The Guardian, "One of the most ironic, intelligent, grimly funny voices to comment on life in present-day America . . .

Synopsis
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER * An "eerie, brilliant, and touching" ( The New York Times ) modern classic about mass culture and the numbing effects of technology. "Tremendously funny . . . A stunning performance from one of our most intelligent novelists."-- The New Republic The inspiration for the award-winning major motion picture starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig Jack Gladney teaches Hitler Studies at a liberal arts college in Middle America where his colleagues include New York expatriates who want to immerse themselves in "American magic and dread." Jack and his fourth wife, Babette, bound by their love, fear of death, and four ultramodern offspring, navigate the usual rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism. Then a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives, an "airborne toxic event" unleashed by an industrial accident. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the "white noise" engulfing the Gladney family--radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings--pulsing with life, yet suggesting something ominous., Part of the Penguin Orange Collection, a limited-run series of twelve influential and beloved American classics in a bold series design offering a modern take on the iconic Penguin paperback Winner of the 2016 AIGA + Design Observer 50 Books - 50 Covers competition For the seventieth anniversary of Penguin Classics, the Penguin Orange Collection celebrates the heritage of Penguin's iconic book design with twelve influential American literary classics representing the breadth and diversity of the Penguin Classics library. These collectible editions are dressed in the iconic orange and white tri-band cover design, first created in 1935, while french flaps, high-quality paper, and striking cover illustrations provide the cutting-edge design treatment that is the signature of Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions today. White Noise Winner of the 1985 National Book Award, White Noise tells the story of Jack Gladney, his fourth wife, Babette, and four ultramodern offspring as they navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism., NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - An "eerie, brilliant, and touching" ( The New York Times ) modern classic about mass culture and the numbing effects of technology.
