They live in a college town where Jack is Professor of Hitler Studies (and conceals the fact that he does not speak a word of German), and Babette teaches posture and volunteers by reading tabloids to a group of elderly shut-ins. They are happy enough, until a deadly toxic accident and Babette's addiction to an experimental drug make Jake question everything. White Noise is considered a postmodern classic and its unfolding of themes of consumerism, family and divorce, and technology as a deadly threat have attracted the attention of literary scholars since its publication. This Viking Critical Library edition, prepared by scholar Mark Osteen, is the only edition of White Noise that contains the entire text along with an extensive critical apparatus, including a critical introduction, selected essays on the author, the work, and its themes, reviews, a chronology of DeLillo's life and work, a list of discussion topics, and a selected bibliography. Review: Great 80's postmodern book jumping around plots with a Fight ... - Great 80's postmodern book jumping around plots with a Fight Club philosophy on consumerism, sex, religion, and death, (before Tyler was ever thought up). Jack Gladney journeys through the story extremely fearing his own death and fearing to be exposed while giving lectures on Hitler, but Hitler represents death beyond a scale. Now they must escape The Toxic Event. His wife invents a drug to deal with chronic fear, but it has a strange side effect. His phrasing of descriptions and commentary is brilliant. I felt the anxiety build as I devoured the last pages. Review: An important book - This book has a lot to offer when read critically. As an English major at MSU, I had three classes in which this book was a required text. The additional essays in this version were insightful and quite useful as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #724,575 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6,071 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #12,990 in Classic Literature & Fiction #24,098 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 116 Reviews | ## Images ![White Noise: Text and Criticism (Viking Critical Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NwkHQENvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 80's postmodern book jumping around plots with a Fight ... *by G***F on October 3, 2015* Great 80's postmodern book jumping around plots with a Fight Club philosophy on consumerism, sex, religion, and death, (before Tyler was ever thought up).

The only difference I can tell is there book includes more detail, but I really enjoyed the movie. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/3107306-white-noise-text-and-criticism-viking-critical-library](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/3107306-white-noise-text-and-criticism-viking-critical-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
