Beyond Grief and Nothing
A READING OF DON DEL1LLO
Joseph
Dewey
In the closing decade of the twentieth century,
Don DeLillo emerged from the privileged status of
a writer s writer to become by any measure
—
productivity, influence, scope,
gravitas
—
the dominant
novelist of
fin de
millennium America. With a series of
landmark titles beginning in
1982
with The Names and
continuing with White Noise and Underworld, DeLillo
defined himself as a provocative, articulate anatomist
of American culture. In Beyond Grief and Nothing: A
Reading of Don DeLillo, Joseph
Dewey
offers an astute
assessment of this daunting yet important writer s four-
decade cultural critique.
Dewey
finds DeLHIo s con¬
cerns to be organized around three rubrics that mark
the writer s own creative evolution: the love of the street,
the embrace of the word, and the celebration of the
soul.
Measuring the full weight of DeLillo s narrative
achievement,
Dewey
takes the reader through the nov¬
elist s hip avant-garde satires of the
mid-1960s,
his
dense interrogations of the power of language and the
spell of narrative in the
1980s
and
1990s,
and his
recent efforts to transcend the narrow parameters of the
immediate.
Dewey
explores, among other relevant top¬
ics, DeLiUo s fascination with Eastern philosophies,
interest in Native American traditions, passion for jazz,
and deep roots in Roman Catholicism.
Written to present an open and helpful reading of
this demanding literary figure, Beyond Grief
ano Noth-
/ngtraces DeLillo s achievement in a careful chronology
of artistic progression. By grounding his reading in the
texts themselves (novels, plays, and many of the short
stories),
Dewey
develops an insightful arc, a thematic
trajectory that takes understanding of DeLillo into sig¬
nificant new directions and offers a compelling and sat¬
isfying introduction to his long literary career.
