»Att det tagit nästan 45 år för Don DeLillos debutroman från 1971 att komma på svenska är ingenting mindre än ett mysterium.« | Niklas Kvarnström, Sydsvenskan
»Amerikana består av nästan enbart knivskarpa meningar. Den insisterar på en autenticitet bakom alla stereotyper. DeLillo är en man med skrämmande iakttagelseförmåga.« | Joyce Carol Oates
David Bell, vit amerikan, man, snygg, med karriär inom TV, på alla sätt en människa på maktens sida, tröttnar på allt och kastar sig i väg på en roadtrip genom Nordamerika, på jakt efter något som helst verkligt att förmedla. Vad som var tänkt att bli en TV-dokumentär om Navajo-indianer blir ett mystiskt försök till självbiografi. Don DeLillos satir över människan i mediesamhället går för full maskin redan i debutromanen Amerikana [1971]. Alla stora institutioner är på väg att kollapsa: historien, den kapitalistiska ekonomin, könet. Denna moderna amerikanska klassiker presenteras här för första gången på svenska, i översättning av Caj Lundgren.

»Redan i debuten är Don DeLillo i högform. Med iskall och bitter humor avtäcker han det amerikanska tv-samhället. En ovanligt rik och angelägen roman som fortfarande tål att läsas och att läsas om.« | Mattias Hagberg, Göteborgs-Posten
»DeLillo är en författare man vill läsa allt av.« | Martin Amis, The Sunday Times

# Vinnare av U.S. National Book Award for Fiction# På Time Magazines lista över de 100 bästa engelsspråkiga romanerna från 1923-2005.»Vitt brus från 1985 är Don DeLillos mest kända och älskade roman. Om konsumism, dödsskräck och kärlek. Det är här man ska börja om man vill ge sig in i DeLillos värld.« JAN GRADVALL, DI»DeLillos roligaste hittills. Kuslig, briljant, rörande.« | THE NEW YORK TIMESJack Gladney undervisar i ämnet Adolf Hitler vid ett humanistiskt universitet i en amerikansk småstad. Bland studenterna finns New York-exilanter som vill låta sig utsättas för riktig »amerikansk magi och skräck«. Ingenting går att ta på allvar. Jack och hans fjärde fru Babette och fyra ultramoderna avkommor tar sig igenom något slags familjeliv till det ändlösa oljudet av märkeskonsumism.Tills en vacker dag ett dödligt svart kemiskt moln seglar över allas liv, orsakad av en industriolycka. Staden evakueras. Plötsligt går allt att ta på dödligt allvar.Vitt brus [1985] är mycket på en gång: en såpopera, en katastrofroman, en universitetsroman, en mordhistoria, en meditation över vår tids dödsskräck, en satir över konsumismen.

»Den här romanen är en skönhet. Det är svårt att hitta en lika djärv vision och en lika vältalig och moraliskt fokuserad röst i amerikansk litteratur.« | Thomas Pynchon
Mao II börjar med ett massbröllop på Yankee Stadium. 6.500 par gifter sig. Det är äktenskapsritualen som jättejippo. I skarp kontrast till detta står Bill Gray, en författare som varit avskuren från världen i trettio år och putsat på ett mästerverk som han inser aldrig kommer att bli klart. Bill ser sig som en av de sista representanterna för det skrivna ordet i den elektroniska eran, där den individuella rösten är på väg att försvinna. Han gör ett desperat försök att ta sig ur sin isolering med ett plötsligt socialt engagemang. Det tar honom till krigets Beirut - där spåren efter honom snart upphör. Mao II [1991] skildrar mediesamhällets terror och sken. Hur konstnären, som inte längre har förmågan att skaka om medvetandet och kulturen, ersätts av terroristen. En amerikansk modern klassiker som med tiden fått profetisk klang. I översättning av Rebecca Alsberg.

År 1951 spelas en basebollmatch i New York som skulle bli legendarisk. På hedersläktaren sitter Frank Sinatra och FBI-chefen J. Edgar Hoover. Under matchens gång får han besked om att ryssarna genomfört sin första atombombsprängning. Det fantastiska sista slaget i matchen skickar bollen högt upp på läktaren och en svart tonåring som plankat in på matchen lyckas smita iväg med den en enorm trofé som får sin egen historia i denna stora skildring av det amerikanska samhället under 1900-talets andra hälft.Det handlar om storpolitik och det kalla kriget, Vietnam och atombomber, teknisk utveckling och växande sopberg och om svarta och vita. Under jord är ett av 90-talets mäktigaste litterära verk i USA och en höjdpunkt i Don DeLillos författarskap.

The National Book Award-winning classic from the author of Underworld and Libra—an “eerie, brilliant, and touching” (New York Times) family drama about mass culture and the numbing effects of technology—now a major motion picture starring Adam Driver and Greta GerwigWhite 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. When an industrial accident unleashes an "airborne toxic event," a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the "white noise" engulfing the Gladneys—radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings—pulsing with life, yet heralding something ominous.

It captures the particular strangeness of life lived when the fear of death cannot be denied or repressed, and ponders the role of the family in a time when the very meaning of our existence is under threat.‘America’s greatest living writer.’ – The ObserverPart of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

Don DeLillo's seventh novel is an exotic thriller. Set mostly in Greece, it concerns a mysterious 'language cult' seemingly behind a number of unexplained murders. Obsessed by news of this ritualistic violence, an American risk analyst is drawn to search for an explanation. We follow his progress on an obsessive journey that begins to take over his life and the lives of those closest to him.In addition to offering a series of precise character studies, The Names explores the intersection of language and culture, the perception of America from both inside and outside its borders, and the impact that narration has on the facts of a story. Meditative and probing, DeLillo wonders: how does one cope with the fact that the act of articulation is simultaneously capable of defining and circumscriptively restricting access to the self?

'Think of two parallel lines. One is the life of Lee H. Oswald. One is the conspiracy to kill the President. What bridges the space between them? What makes a connection inevitable? There is a third line. It comes out of dreams, visions, intuitions, prayers, out of the deepest levels of the self.'A troubled adolescent endlessly riding New York's subway cars, Lee Harvey Oswald enters adulthood believing himself to be an agent of history. This makes him fair game to a pair of discontented CIA operatives convinced that a failed attempt on the life of the US president will force the nation to tackle the threat of communism head on.Libra is a gripping, masterful blend of fact and fiction, laying bare the wounded American psyche and the dark events that still torment it.'An audacious blend of fiction and fact' The Times

Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Friday, November 22, 1963. 12.30 PM.Shots ring out. A president dies. And a nation is plunged into psychosis. Don DeLillo's extraordinary Libra is a brilliant reimagining of the events and people surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Concentrating on the lives of Lee Harvey Oswald, some rogue former spooks unhappy with Kennedy's presidency, and Nicholas Branch, a CIA archivist, trying to make sense of or draw inferences from the mass of information after the assassination, Libra presents an unapologeticly provocative picture of America in the second half of the last century.

His first novel, Don DeLillo's Americana passionately articulates the neurotic landscape of contemporary American life through a disintegrating embodiment of the American dream.Prosperous, good-looking and empty inside, 28-year-old advertising executive David Bell appears on the surface to have everything. But he is a man on the brink of losing his sanity. Trapped in a Manhattan office with soulless sycophants as his only company, he makes an abrupt decision to leave New York for America's mid-west. His plan: to film the small-town lives of ordinary people and make contact with the true heart of his homeland. But as Bell puts his films together in his hotel room, he grows increasingly convinced that there is no heart to find. Modern America has become a land that has reached the end of its reel...Don DeLillo (b.1936) was born and raised in New York City. Americana (1971), his first novel, announced the arrival of a major literary talent, and the novels that followed confirmed his reputation as one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in late-twentieth-century American fiction. DeLillo's comic gifts come to the fore in White Noise (1985), which won the National Book Award, Underworld (1997), hailed by Martin Amis as 'the ascension of a great writer', Cosmopolis (2003), adapted into a film by David Cronenberg, due to be released later this year, and Falling Man (2007), a novel about the aftereffects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York.If you enjoyed Americana, you might like DeLillo's Libra, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'He's a writer who, once you read him, makes you want to read everything he's done'Martin Amis, Sunday Times'Witty, clever and incisive ... a marvellously realized plot'Time Out'Nearly every sentence of Americana rings true ...

A darkly funny satire of human nature and American college football, set against the backdrop of the Cold War, by the author of the National Book Award–winning novel White NoiseAt Logos College in West Texas, huge young men, vacuum-packed into shoulder pads and shiny helmets, play football with intense passion. During an uncharacteristic winning season, the perplexed and distracted running back Gary Harkness has periodic fits of nuclear glee, fueled by his fear of and fascination with nuclear conflict. As the line between football and nuclear warfare blurs, the actions of the players become unorthodox and even bizarre, reflecting the disconcerting reality of a world teetering on the brink of destruction. In this triumphantly funny, deeply searching novel, Don DeLillo explores the metaphor of football as war with rich, original zeal.

An unparalleled work of historical conjecture, ranging imaginatively over huge tracts of the American popular consciousness, Don DeLillo's Libra contains an introduction by the author in Penguin Modern Classics.In this powerful, eerily convincing fictional speculation on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Don DeLillo chronicles Lee Harvey Oswald's odyssey from troubled teenager to a man of precarious stability who imagines himself an agent of history. When "history" presents itself in the form of two disgruntled CIA operatives who decide that an unsuccessful attempt on the life of JFK will galvanize the nation against Communism, the scales are irrevocably tipped.Don DeLillo (b.1936) was born and raised in New York City.

David Bell embodies the American dream. He's twenty-eight, has survived office coups, scandals, and beaten lesser rivals, to become an extremely successful TV exec.

He wants reality, to touch, feel and record what is real. He takes a camera and journeys across America in a mad, roving quest to discover and capture some sense of his own and his country's past, present and future.Americana is Don DeLillo's brilliant first novel.

The play opens in a hospital; the characters are patients, doctors and nurses. It is a recognizable, predictable world. And yet, as the scenes unfold – in dialogue crackling with intelligence and insight, with incandescent bite and humour – our sense of normalcy is rocked from under us. Are these doctors and nurses really just patients from the Arno Klein Psychiatric Wing? Or are they something else entirely: people who are playing psychiatric patients playing doctors and nurses? And who, exactly, is Arno Klein?Described by the Boston Globe on its first performance as ‘an unselfconscious, fizzing, inventive black comedy that is enormously funny’, The Day Room displays Don DeLillo’s extraordinary talents in the brightest of lights.

In Valparaiso, a breathtaking play from Don DeLillo, a man sets out on what he imagines will be an ordinary business trip to Valparaiso, Indiana. It proves to be anything but run-of-the-mill, turning instead into a mock-heroic journey toward identity and transcendence.Valparaiso is a funny, sharp and deeply satirical look at our information age. This is the way we talk to each other today. This is the way we tell each other things, in public, before listening millions, that we don't dare say privately. Nothing is allowed to be unseen. Nothing remains unread. And everything melts repeatedly into something else, as if driven by the finger on the TV remote. This is also a play that makes obsessive poetry out of the language of routine airline announcements and the flow of endless information.

Written in hypnotic prose, Don DeLillo's Point Omega is both a metaphysical meditation and a deeply unsettling mystery, from which one thing emerges: loss, fierce and incomprehensible.Richard Elster, a retired secret war adviser, has retreated to a forlorn house in a desert, 'somewhere south of nowhere'. But his planned isolation is interrupted when he is joined by a young filmmaker intent on documenting his experience in a one-take film. The two men sit on the deck, drinking and talking. Weeks go by. And then Elster's daughter Jessie visits. When a devastating event follows, all the men's talk, the accumulated meaning of conversation and isolation, is thrown into question.Reading the fiction of Don DeLillo is an utterly original experience: powerful, prescient, perceptive. Writing in a prose that is both majestic and muscular, his unerringly accurate vision penetrates deep into the soul of America and consistently leaves readers with a fresh perspective on the world. Since the publication of his first novel, in 1971, he has been acknowledged across the world as one of the greatest writers of his generation.

Falling Man begins on September 11, in the smoke and ash of the burning towers. In the days and the years following, we trace the aftermath of this global tremor in the private lives of a few reticulated individuals. Theirs are lives choreographed by loss, by grief and by the enormous force of history.From these intimate portraits, Don DeLillo shifts to an extrapolated vision: he charts the way the events have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world.Falling Man is an unforgettable novel, at once cathartic and beautiful and heartbreaking.

Eric Packer is a twenty-eight-year-old multi-billionaire asset manager. We join him on what will become a particularly eventful April day in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Manhattan. He's on a personal odyssey, to get a haircut. Sitting in his stretch limousine as it moves across town, he finds the city at a virtual standstill because the President is visiting, a rapper's funeral is proceeding, and a violent protest is being staged in Times Square by anti-globalist groups. Most worryingly, Eric's bodyguards are concerned that he may be a target . . .An electrifying study in affectlessness, infused with deep cynicism and measured detachment; a harsh indictment of the life-denying tendencies of capitalism; as brutal a dissection of the American dream as Wolfe's Bonfire or Ellis's Psycho, Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis is a caustic prophecy all too quickly realized.

The Body Artist begins with normality: breakfast between a married couple, Lauren and Rey, in their ramshackle rented house on the New England coast. Recording their delicate, intimate, half-complete thoughts and words, Don DeLillo proves himself a stunningly unsentimental observer of our idiosyncratic relationships. But after breakfast, Rey makes a decision that leaves Lauren utterly alone, or seems to.As Lauren, the body artist of the title, becomes strangely detached from herself and the temporal world, the novel becomes an exploration of a highly abnormal grieving process; a fascinating exposé of 'who we are when we are not rehearsing who we are'; and a rarefied study of trauma and creativity, absence and presence, isolation and communion.
