Now that I've read more from DeLillo, WN seems quaintly amateurish compared to his more deft, more graceful works which had me do a lot of the interpretation for myself to unravel themes. Not here! Honestly I appreciate it for that very reason: its forthright directness, its inelegance, its guileless and repetitive simplicity. The basic metaphor extends through literally every scene, every detail. Leitmotif, amirite?
