MEDIA REVIEWS
An apocalyptic novel for our timesThe Silence is a horrifyingly resonant bookSlim and timely
(DeLillo) is our laureate of paranoia and dread...(The Silence) is a pristine disaster novel...his best writinghere reminds us that,as he puts it . . ."Life can get so interesting that we forget to be afraid"
DeLillo's mastery of the fragmented nature of spoken language is displayed in these paranoiacblurts,which every years seem less paranoiac...(a) brilliant,brief tale
DeLillo is a master stylist,and not a word goes to wasteFew people write as gorgeously as DeLillo canThe Silence is DeLillo distilled...a straight shot of the good stuffA swift and searing haunting of a novel. An encapsulation of our continuing crisis of aberration and pause. The Silence is prime DeLillo.In this wry and cutting meditation on collective loss,a rupture severs us,suddenly,from everything we've come to rely on. The Silence seems to absorb DeLillo's entire body of work and sand it into stone or crystal.Don DeLillo
