Episode 8: He Speaks in Your Voice: Listeners' Favorite Passages

In Episode Eight, DDSWTNP take in the wide range of DeLillo’s corpus through passages chosen and recorded by listeners. Great renditions of DeLillo’s many voices abound, from the sinister to the hilarious to the highly lyrical, and we offer our analysis of the language he brings to power, embodiment, and violence. His most popular novels, White Noise and Underworld, are well represented, but so too are some excellent, more obscure picks from Ratner’s Star, Libra, The Body Artist, and more. Huge thanks to all those who celebrated DeLillo by reading and submitting a passage! #vegetoid #americansinourschools #uncollectedgarbagedistrict #bodywork #peace  Readers, texts, and page numbers in this episode: Americana: Andrew (36), Dave (134)End Zone: Donna (239)Ratner’s Star: Jae (131)The Names: Robert (235), Mike (266)White Noise: Gavin (147), Andy (12), Mike (302), Matt (311)Libra: Matt (393)Underworld: Sam (41), Ben (785), Ursula (826)The Body Artist: Yonina (59)Cosmopolis: Matt (99)Point Omega: Raoul (28)“Human Moments in World War III” (The Angel Esmeralda): George (43)
