Lish and cleo birdwell -- i stand by my source.

for hardheaded lish readers, I also suggest PERU and MY ROMANCE, both good
beach books and interesting for any grad students out there who are looking
for an amusing topic: try skin conditions and the modern americam writer:
can mix in Lish, Updike and Nicholson Baker.

p.s. AMERICANA is not only *early* delillo -- it is his first novel and well
worth a read, indicating he was already interested in those more abstruse
themes even before the Sorbonne telephoned.
