Book Synopsis
A strongly argued analysis and close reading of Delillo's works... There is much here in the methodology and discussion of postmodern themes and techniques that will have relevance to American studies and cultural studies more widely.-Forum for Modern Language Studies

Trade Review
"Osteen's wide-ranging knowledge of media history and theory and ability to draw upon a variety of theoretical approaches with great clarity convincingly links DeLillo to the major intellectual currents of our times. This is just the sort of book to generate a livelier discussion of DeLillo's place in the postmodern canon." * David Cowart, University of South Carolina *
