DeüUo s
writing: has been concerned, from its inception, with
thinking about how fiction has developed from theendof the Second
World War. This book reads the whole of Don DeUUa s
oeuvre
to
date -from Americana to Cosmopotis -and asks how far his writing
can be thought of as an enactment of the possibilities of literary
fiction in contemporary global culture.
DeUUo s work offers an analysis of the ways in which the
globalisation of capital, the end of the modernist avant-garde, and
the expansion of US military and economic power have transformed
the production affiction. The writer as a social critic, as a figure who
helps us to think and see , is under threat in DeLillo s writing from
new forms of mass communication; and ever mare advanced modes
of surveillance and control. But if his writing charts the
disappearance of critical fiction, then it also develops new forms
irr
which fiction might persist under new global conditions.
This is the first book to
afferà
reading of DeLillo s complete
oeuvre
in the light of
9/11,
and of the new global power relations that have
come about in the wake of the attacks. In reading DeLillo s
ambivalent engagement with globalisation, and with global
terrorism, Peter
Boxali
suggests ways in which his writing might
help us to think about the possibilities of fiction in the post-9/11
global context.
