Status Updates From Outremonde

DeLillo writes what is so obviously literary fiction (in his case perhaps most characterized by internalization and gradualism and coyness). I’ve been thinking about this book and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, which has its New York and its broad expanse if time and its Jewish artist — even its own Saks/Sachs/Sax. This one requires much more patience from its readers, that’s for sure.
