Chuffed that my review of Don DeLillo’s “The Silence” is quoted in the blurb pages of the new paperback edition, a special one that includes an essay by him at the end, “Man at the Window.” Essay’s closing line is trademark DeLillo sublime. @scribnerbooks @hyperallergic

@TheStrickland @_prezidente Excellent summation of the full scope of his tenure, and of how the 2025 stretch ultimately proved particularly indicative of a trajectory towards dismissal despite the sequential successes in the playoffs (quite luck-enhanced, as you point out) this time around. Great piece 💯🏆

@GavinWoltjer Every syllable necessary and perfectly placed. Truly excellent book.

@MarkAschParody Can’t wait!

@MarkAschParody @intothecrevasse “Why did you leave out ‘Crash’ from the series, Mr. Asch?”
“Because obviously. Next question.”
“Days of Thunder?”
“That’s on Wednesday, do your research.”
“Talladega Nights?”
“The ENTIRE next series is ‘Talladega Nights’. On loop, like a race track.”
“ … ”
“No more questions.”

@meghan_ Nice ones! Tame, really, but nice.

@WilliamCorwin @artexplored_ @MuseumModernArt It was a great interview. Well done.

@TheLuisPanini @HorrorJeezus He dissociated himself from it for reasons I’m sure you’ve heard, but it’s great all the same. The dialogue is so recognizably his. Keaton and Downey Jr deliver it well.

[Paul D'Agostino @postuccio]

@TheLuisPanini @HorrorJeezus Thought the anecdote slid in well here. Thanks for the stack. I’ve also read ‘em all. Ranking them would probably require me to argue with myself and rerank them over and over. Plays and short stories as brilliant as the novels. (Btw, ever seen Game 6? Roots of Cosmopolis…)

[Paul D'Agostino @postuccio]

@TheLuisPanini @HorrorJeezus I’ve been fortunate to attend several DeLillo readings over the years. The first was a relatively small gathering at Princeton. During questions, someone posed the all-too-expected one, “Whose books do you read?” He zagged, replied instantly: “Read Cormac McCarthy.” Bosses, both.

I was asked to pick out one artwork by each of the five artists in “Favorite Thing”, a group show at @AmosEnoGallery , and reflecting briefly on each piece. The artists are Don Voisine, Glenn Goldberg, Jim Condron, Jim Lee, and Chris Esposito.
