An Author's Books: Don DeLillo
So I decided to read all DeLillo's novels before the end of summer as a challenge.
The aim of this challenge:
1- I want to see if I can read all the works of one particular author. I want to know if I will get bored after few books, or if I'll be able to get it done.
2- I would like to see how all novels relate to each other, and how they deal with the main themes. So far the themes are
- Marriage, and cheating
- Death
- The power of Media
- The power of technology
3- I want to somehow understand how this author functions: investigate why he write books, and why he concentrates on certain themes.
4- Rate books: Sometimes even if a novel by a writer is the most famour, it does not mean that it's their best work (for some people anyway). Even if White Noise is the most known novel by DeLillo, I still prefer Point Omega over it. For now anyway…
