Customer Reviews

DeLillo never disappoints

Don DeLillo is a consumate master of the written word, be it novel or play. "THe Day Room" is an hilarious exploration of an existential dilemma: What is real and who can I trust? What determines the normal and sane? The health care setting is particularly apt. I recommend this and everything DeLillo has written.

i saw god

This is one of the better books ive read. Buy it, read it and lend it to a friend.

An Interesting, quirky play

We did this play in my high school dramatic production class. It is an interesting view on the meaning of reality versus illusion. Although a bit convoluted in parts, it is worth a read if you are into that sort of thing
