  Not familiar with this DeLillo. I wish Cook had quoted a passage to let us get a taste of the book before we take the trouble to buy or borrow it.

  Great article! Loved the part on George Will - he is a pompous ass on most issues he chimes in on, in my opinion. Delillo is brilliant; White Noise, Underworld, and End Zone are all great reads and I look forward to this new one.

      Great piece…especially section on Dale Peck.  Looking forward to reading Cosmopolis!  And to Russ Nicholas, Cook did quote from the novel.  See the last paragraph.

  Finally!  Some perspective given to me in the recent bashing of DeLillo.  Thank you for this.  Deeply.  xxo

  Excellent critic!  It’s nice to see reporters with a view of both sides, and at the very least, a sensible approach to their preferred perspective.  Delillo is a brilliant author that deserves an equally brilliant critic.

  Cook has an asymmetrical prostate.
