Abstract
delillo's white noise is largely a critique of american culture after World War II and after the popularity of home television in the 1950s. In white noise, white noise itself has covered up a gaping hole in american culture. The hole is the obtrusive, persistent, and arguably natural "fear of death," and leading up to the mid-'80s, delillo's post-War white noise has become a distraction from mass death for the mass of Americans.
