>>7469735
DFW had this exact same moment when he was on the 1000th page of Infinite Jest
Do you think he just stopped writing?
>>
>>7470240

>>
>>7470240
I don't wanna be a cuck like that David Fausters Walden.

>>7469735
What's a good starting point for his works?
>>
>>7473230
Probably his first book!
>>
>>7470036
I have an uncle whose first thought on 9/11 was that DeLillo will write a novel about it which ignores most of the event.
>>
>>7473232
Americana? No! Few people read early DeLillo for a reason - it''s not stellar. White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Point Omega and Falling Man are all good starting points. Just pick the most interesting seeming one of them.

>White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Point Omega and Falling Man

Ignore the last two and substitute Underworld, unquestionably his best novel.
>>
Has DeLillo talked about memes?
>>
>>7473334
Surely you would not start with it, though?
>>
>>7473360
Yes, see the most photographed barn in White Noise.
>>
>>7473319
