“Nearly every sentence of Americana rings true,” observed Joyce Carol Oates (Detroit News). “Don DeLillo’s swift, ironic witty cross-country American nightmare doesn’t have a dull or unoriginal line” (Nelson Algren, Rolling Stone). In an interview, DeLillo called Americana his “private declaration of independence, a statement of my intention to use the whole picture, the whole culture” (Begley, 1993).
