Don De Lillo after the Millennium: Currents and Currencies examines all the author’s work published in the 21st century: The Body Artist, Cosmopolis, Falling Man, Point Omega, and Zero K, the plays Love-Lies-Bleeding and The Word for Snow, and the short stories in The Angel Esmeralda. What topic doesn’t De Lillo tackle? Cyber-capital and currency markets, ontology and intelligence, global warming and cryogenics, Don De Lillo continues to ponder the significance of present cultural currents and to anticipate the waves of the future. Performance art and ethics, drama and euthanasia, space studies and the constrictions of time, De Lillo perspicaciously reads our culture, giving voice to the rhythms of our vernacular and diction. Rich and resonant, his work is so multifaceted in its attention that it accommodates a wide variety of critical approaches while its fine and filigreed prose commends him to a poetic appreciation as well. Don De Lillo after the Millennium brings together an international cast of scholars who examine De Lillo’s work from many critical perspectives, exploring the astonishing output of an author who continues to tell our stories and show us ourselves.
