White Noise

by Don DeLillo

White Noise is a postmodern classic that follows Jack Gladney, a professor of Hitler Studies at a liberal arts college in Middle America, and his wife, Babette, as they navigate family life amidst the background noise of brand-name consumerism. Their lives are disrupted by a deadly toxic accident and Babette’s secret addiction to an experimental drug, forcing Jack to confront his fears and the numbing effects of technology and mass culture.
