“DeLillo’s swift, ironic, and witty cross-country American nightmare doesn't have a dull or an unoriginal line.”—Rolling Stone
The first novel by Don DeLillo, author of the National Book Award–winning White Noise
At twenty-eight, David Bell is living the American Dream. He has fought his way to the top, becoming a top television executive who has captivated America’s imagination through the images on their flickering screens.
At the height of his success, David becomes disillusioned with the realities of consumerism and mass media and sets out to rediscover reality—and himself. Camera in hand, he journeys across the country in a mad and moving attempt to capture and find meaning in America’s past, present, and future.
Don DeLillo delivers a witty and incisive examination of Amerca’s cultural heritage and the complexities of identity in this classic work of postmodernist literary fiction.

      In search of his roots, a successful but unhappy TV executive takes off for the heartland of America. ``This first novel is peopled with characters alienated not only from one another, but from themselves. It has the smell of staleness and despair. It is also, with its deadly accurate observations, its veracious dialogue, and its consistency of view, brilliantly written,'' maintained PW.
