By Jeffrey MacIntyre It's been said often enough that every age gets the art it deserves. In a memorable editorial lynching of Oliver Stone, Maureen Dowd once castigated the filmmaker's liberties with history, suggesting his popularity must signal something askew in the culture itself. Stone is not so much a savvy critic of our times, Dowd accusingly implied, as a symptom of its myopic shortcomings. Never pick a fight with Maureen Dowd. Don DeLillo, a novelist who has made American life his explicit subject for over 30 years, has faced similar charges. Like Stone, DeLillo's fascination with conspiratorial themes has drawn no shortage of heated rebukes. His reputation as an unabashedly private and cerebral literary figure, similarly, has not always endeared him to the literary establishment. He figured prominently in an

Help Search: Biography of Don DeLillo (1936-) Don DeLillo Don DeLillo was born on Nov. 20, 1936, in New York City's borough of the Bronx, to Italian immigrants. DeLillo had little contact with literature until he was 18, when he describes being carried away by the power and beauty of language. He attended Fordham University in New York, but found the city a far more exciting playground, citing its access to experimental art, jazz, and movies (he describes French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard as the primary influence over his early work). He had a brief stint in the advertising world, and though he claims it was an uninteresting time of his life, his obsession with media and American culture may find its roots there, as well as in his immigrant background. DeLillo's first novel, Americana (1971), traces these issues of media and culture through the travels of a television executive who tries to rediscover America through a film project. DeLillo delved into deeper questions of death, celebrity, cults, and consumerism in End Zone (1972), about a football player, and Great Jones Street (1973), about a reclusive rock star. His next series of books Ratner's Star (1976), Players (1977), Running Dog (1978), and Amazons (1980, written under the pen name Cleo Birdwell) all deal with highly specific fictional worlds. Ratner's Star, for instance, is about astronomy, and Amazons tells a woman's "true" memoirs of playing in the National Hockey League.

DON DeLILLO November 12, 1997 (Wednesday) at 8:00 p.m. Page Hall, 135 Western Avenue University at Albany, Downtown Campus Afternoon Seminar at 4:00 p.m. Recital Hall, Performing Arts Center Don DeLillo gained recognition and established himself as a brilliant writer with his debut novel Americana (1971) followed by End Zone (1972), a book ostensibly about football but in reality concerned with the growing corruption of language and life in America. Often tackling major milieus and events of American culture and portraying the chaos of society, DeLillo continued with the well-received novels Great Jones Street (19973) about the world of rock stars and the drug culture, Ratner's Star (1976), a science fiction novel, and Players (1977), where he takes on the subject of terrorism. In the 1977 review in Washington Post Book World on Players , reviewer William Kennedy called DeLillo "a spectacular talent, supremely witty and a natural story-teller." DeLillo's most recent works include Libra (1988), a novel which raises questions about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Mao II (1991) which explores the relationship between terrorists and writers, and

Don DeLillo's America - A Don DeLillo Page Photo by The New York Times It's no accident that my first novel was called Americana . This was a private declaration of independence, a statement of my intention to use the whole picture, the whole culture. America was and is the immigrant's dream, and as the son of two immigrants I was attracted by the sense of possibility that had drawn my grandparents and parents. Don DeLillo, from the 1993 interview with Adam Begley The writer is the person who stands outside society, independent of affiliation and independent of influence. The writer is the man or woman who automatically takes a stance against his or her government. There are so many temptations for American writers to become part of the system and part of the structure that now, more than ever, we have to resist. American writers ought to stand and live in the margins, and be more dangerous. Writers in repressive societies are considered dangerous. That's why so many of them are in jail.
