Don DeLillo
Donald Richard "Don" DeLillo (born November 20, 1936) is an American novelist, short story writer, playwright, screenwriter and essayist. His works have covered subjects as diverse as television, nuclear war, the complexities of language, art, the advent of the Digital Age, mathematics, politics, economics, and sports.DeLillo was already a well-regarded cult writer in 1985, when the publication of ''White Noise'' brought him widespread recognition and the National Book Award for fiction. He followed this in 1988 with ''Libra'', a novel about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. DeLillo won the PEN/Faulkner Award for ''Mao II'', about terrorism and the media's scrutiny of writers' private lives, and the William Dean Howells Medal for ''Underworld'', a historical novel that ranges in time from the dawn of the Cold War to the birth of the Internet. He was awarded the 1999 Jerusalem Prize, the 2010 PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction in 2010, and the 2013 Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction.
DeLillo has described his themes as "living in dangerous times" and "the inner life of the culture". In a 2005 interview, he said that writers "must oppose systems. It's important to write against power, corporations, the state, and the whole system of consumption and of debilitating entertainments... I think writers, by nature, must oppose things, oppose whatever power tries to impose on us." Provided by Wikipedia
