NP but DeLillo

[Robert Mahnke]

For the Washington Post, having David Ignatius review the new DeLillo
is exploring the depths of self-parody.  David Ignatius?  Really?
Naturally, the result is this:

"What an achievement it would be for a writer of DeLillo's talent to
truly take the measure of a Wolfowitz or Donald Rumsfeld; we have
enough cartoon representations of these men already and could use the
novelist's fine eye and ear."

Whatever DeLillo is after in this book, I'm thinking it isn't a better
description of Paul Wolfowitz or Donald Rumsfeld.
