I’ve vaguely heard about Don DeLillo before from somewhere but never had anything to associate the name with. “Cosmopolis” is one of the (many) books on my course reading list this year and it was nice to finally be able to attach some kind of details and a face to a name that is rather well-known. ...
I read this book ages ago, in English, I didn't have the knowledge of the language then for it to make much sense. Read it again when it was announced to be a movie. It's still very much over my head, but the language in it is so mesmerizing you cannot help but to be pulled in and awed.I have a thin...

"- Twój genius i twój animus zawsze były złączone - rzekła. - Twój umysł rozkwita na glebie wrogości wobec innych ludzi. Tak samo twoje ciało, jak mi się wydaje. Zła krew daje długie życie".Powieści postmodernistyczne to dla mnie ciężki orzech do zgryzienia. Znowu czuje się kompletnie zagubiona. Zas...

An excellent - and eerily prescient - look at New York and at fate and human nature. The novel is set in 2000/written 2003 but it feels like it could be happening right now. That's probably why the movie's going to work so damn well, too. It's like a crisp autumn morning - the prose is clean and...
Click the image below to watch the quick Wordless Video Book Review Only my second DeLillo book (Underworld being the other), and I can say, I officially a fan of Don DeLillo. Sure, at times all of his characters are perhaps too quick-witted, and he can go on for pages with not much happening (which...
SORTA-BUT-NOT-REALLY-SPOILERS AHEADCosompolis was my first DeLillo. It was very nearly my last. (I'm reading White Noise now, but I almost didn't.) Like many others, I read this to ready myself for the Cronenberg film, although now I'm not so sure I'll enjoy that either.I don't really see why this n...
I've read about 15% of this book. It's weird and this weirdness holds no interest to me. None at all. Hence, I'm flouncing.I seriously hope the movie will be a gazillion times better, or will be a major box-office FAIL.
