In the Loop: Don DeLillo and the Systems Novel
Tom LeClair
"In The Loop" is the first study of Don DeLillo, one of America's most importatnt novelists. While providing an overview of DeLillo's career and a book-by-book analysis of his eight novels, Tom LeClair constructs (and placess DeLillo's fiction within) a new critical category - the systems novel. Like other "systems novelists" - William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon, and Robert Coover - DeLillo employs the new scientific paradigm of "systems theory" as a basis for his novelistic analyses of human survival in various spheres, from the nuclear family to that encompassing reciprocal loop, the ecosystem, that is DeLillo's fundamental model of value.
