White Noise

While Jack Gladney is an intellectual academic, an expert in the unlikely field of “Hitler studies” (and something of a fraud, to boot), he’s also a pretty normal dad. Casual reviewers of White Noise tend to overlook the sublime banality of domesticity represented in DeLillo’s signature novel: Gladney is an excellent father to his many kids and step-kids, and DeLillo draws their relationships with a realism that belies–and perhaps helps to create–the novel’s satirical bent.

'White Noise' definitely resonated during the time I read it. The white noise of anxiety sounded loudly.

It's a great story in general and reading it helped me acknowledge my fear of death and how it affected me.
