DeLillo

[Billy Genocide]

Can I ask what the fuck is the attraction to DeLillo? Granted, I've only
read White Noise. But as for that particular novel it had nothing to offer
in the way of innovative technique or narrative style; the points he makes
about late 20th century life are trite and obvious; the most interesting
ideas (such as the Hitler studies) are not fleshed out as well as they could
be; the story seems to do a great deal of floating around without much
purpose. Essentially, the whole book came off as rather stale to me. Am I
seriously missing something? Should I read some of his other work?
