![]() The wisest, richest, funniest, and most moving novel in years from Don DeLillo, one of the great American novelists of our time-an ode to language, at the heart of our humanity, a meditation on death, and an embrace of life. Questions were also raised about the success of the novel’s narrative techniques, and the role of humour, capital, and political elements in the text. The conversation also focused on the presence of various art forms in the text and DeLillo’s continuing interest in visual art in his work. On Tuesday 31st May, Dr Kasia Boddy, Dr Catherine Gander, Dr Doug Haynes, Dr David Hering, and Professor Mark Osteen joined guest #bookhour organiser Rebecca Harding to discuss Don DeLillo’s Zero K. The discussion explored the way themes from DeLillo’s earlier fiction resurface in the novel, and the effect of this reusing of material. #Bookhour is an open forum twitter discussion between scholars and the public that takes place the last Tuesday of the month. ![]()
