“White Noise is the eighth novel by Don DeLillo, published by Viking Press in 1985. It won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. White Noise is a cornerstone example of postmodern literature. It is widely considered DeLillo's breakout work and brought him to the attention of a much larger audience. Time Magazine included the novel in its list of "Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.” DeLillo originally wanted to call the book Panasonic, but the Panasonic Corporation objected. In late 2022, the novel was adapted by director Noah Baumbach into a film of the same name starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig.”
