Series: Edinburgh Companions to Literature and the Humanities

The Edinburgh Companion to Don DeLillo and the Arts is the first book to provide a comprehensive study of Don DeLillo's career-long engagements with the visual, literary, digital and televisual, performing, filmic, and spatial arts. Gathering original essays from a diverse range of international contributors, including established voices in DeLillo criticism and emerging experts, the volume forges new paths in the study of one of the greatest authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Beginning with a section dedicated to experiential and political aesthetics in DeLillo's work, the Companion offers new perspectives on the forms and functions of the arts across DeLillo's entire oeuvre-from his first novel Americana, through his plays, essays, short stories, to his latest novel, The Silence. This exciting Companion is a genuine intervention in DeLillo scholarship by offering an interdisciplinary examination of his work across forms, media, method, and theory.

Reviews for The Edinburgh Companion to Don Delillo and the Arts

"""This capacious volume offers a treasure trove of insights and approaches. Spanning DeLillo's entire oeuvre and featuring contributions from many distinguished scholars, the essays address the myriad ways that his works encounter and incorporate a wide range of art forms. It is sure to be an enormously valuable resource not only for DeLillo scholars, but for all readers interested in cross-artistic relationships and interdisciplinary criticism."" -Mark Osteen, Loyola University Maryland"
