Don DeLillo after the Millennium: Currents and Currencies examines all the author’s work published in the 21st century: The Body Artist, Cosmopolis, Falling Man, Point Omega, and Zero K, the plays Love-Lies-Bleeding and The Word for Snow, and the short stories in The Angel Esmeralda. What topic doesn’t DeLillo tackle? Cyber-capital and currency markets, ontology and intelligence, global warming and cryogenics, Don DeLillo continues to ponder the significance of present cultural currents and to anticipate the waves of the future. Performance art and ethics, drama and euthanasia, space studies and the constrictions of time, DeLillo perspicaciously reads our culture, giving voice to the rhythms of our vernacular and diction. Rich and resonant, his work is so multifaceted in its attention that it accommodates a wide variety of critical approaches while its fine and filigreed prose commends him to a poetic appreciation as well. Don DeLillo after the Millennium brings together an international cast of scholars who examine DeLillo’s work from many critical perspectives, exploring the astonishing output of an author who continues to tell our stories and show us ourselves.

Jacqueline A. Zubeck is associate professor of English at the College of Mount Saint Vincent.
This volume, which brings together established DeLillo scholars and smart newcomers, is timely in more senses than one. Its able contributors are mindful of DeLillo's career continuities (his interest in language, his prescience, his attention to both the main currents and the eddies of American culture) even as they explore the distinctive features of this author's robust post-millennial oeuvre, including novels, short stories, and drama. An indispensable collection for all who take an interest in DeLillo, in contemporary letters, and in the world as it is revealed by our fictions. (David Cowart, University of South Carolina)
