Providing
us
with
a
startling
new
reading
of
Don
DeLillo's
oeuvre,
from
his
very
earliest
short
stories
to
his
late
minimalism,
Thomas
Travers'
book
is,
however,
far
more
than
simply
a
great
study
of
one
of
the
most
important
U.S.
novelists
of
our
time.
It
is
also
one
of
the
most
significant
books
on
Marxist
literary
theory
and
on
the
contemporary
novel's
responses
to
economic
crisis,
financialization
and
the
dynamics
of
dispossession
that
has
been
published
this
century.
A
major
advance
in
our
understanding
of
the
novel's
attempts
to
grapple
with
the
challenges
to
representation
posed
by
contemporary
capitalism.
Answering some big questions about the postmodern hypothesis from the ground zero of its ruin, this book sets out to reinvent DeLillo as a novelist of the anonymously dispossessed masses whose multitude defines our historical present. The DeLillo that emerges from these pages is less the exemplar of postmodernism in fiction than he is a prophet of dissent, a prescient thinker and artist whose writings conjoin the dominant characterological tendency of literary fiction since the 1960s with the social antagonism we are now seeing on the streets, writing its own epic in the language of rage and fire.
DeLillo is not the archetypal postmodern novelist we believed him to be, but an epic poet of the dispossessed, cartographer of the surplus populations thrown off by the 'long downturn', his fictions striving to re-historicize capitalism's cast-offs as emergent subjects of History: such is Travers's original and compelling thesis. The book effects a wholesale reconceptualization of the Jamesonian problematic of postmodernism, rewriting the relation of politics and form for the era of secular stagnation via Deleuze and Guattari's untapped notion of peripheralization: it is a critical triumph and a superlative work of Marxist literary theory.
