Joshua Ferris reviewed Don DeLillo's new novel Zero K in the New York Times.
"DeLillo's novels generally offer consolation simply by enacting so well the mystery and awe of the real world, by probing deeply and mystically into so much, and by offering the pleasures of his unique style. Just as his characters plunge through constructed realities in quest of truer selves, so do we, as DeLillo's readers, find in his pages something akin to insight of a gnostic order. DeLillo's characters long to penetrate the enigmas and intrigues of his conjured worlds; DeLillo's readers devour his sentences, images and narratives for what amounts to something similar: for all that DeLillo — the seeker, the prophet, the mystic, the guide — sees."
