From one of the most dazzling and essential voices in American fiction, a timely and compelling novel set in the near future about five people gathered together in a Manhattan apartment, in the midst of a catastrophic event.

Don DeLillo completed this novel just weeks before the advent of Covid-19. The Silence is the story of a different catastrophic event. Its resonances offer a mysterious solace.

It is Super Bowl Sunday in the year 2022. Five people, dinner, an apartment on the east side of Manhattan. The retired physics professor and her husband and her former student waiting for the couple who will join them from what becomes a dramatic flight from Paris. The conversation ranges from a survey telescope in North-central Chile to a favorite brand of bourbon to Einstein’s 1912 Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity.

Then something happens and the digital connections that have transformed our lives are severed.

What follows is a dazzling and profoundly moving conversation about what makes us human. Never has the art of fiction been such an immediate guide to our navigation of a bewildering world. Never have DeLillo’s prescience, imagination, and language been more illuminating and essential.

“Mysterious...Unexpectedly touching...[DeLillo offers] consolation simply by enacting so well the mystery and awe of the real world.” —Joshua Ferris, The New York Times Book Review

“DeLillo [has] almost Dayglo powers as a writer.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“Brilliant and astonishing…a masterpiece…manages to renew DeLillo’s longstanding obsessions while also striking deeply and swiftly at the reader’s emotions…The effect is transcendent.” —Charles Finch, Chicago Tribune

“Daring... provocative... exquisite...captures the swelling fears of our age.”
—Ron Charles, The Washington Post

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Don DeLillo and The Silence

"DeLillo has a special receiver that we the rest of us don’t have. He can hear and see things in the culture long before everybody else does. Every sentence radiates with his uncanny feeling for this moment and for the moment about to come." —Rachel Kushner, author of The Hard Crowd

"DeLillo . . . creates a powerful rendering of a crowd unified by a terrifying event that defies all available models of comprehension."
—The New Yorker

"[Readers] will find something poignant and terrible in this strange unbroken silence."
—Michael Gorra, NY Review of Books

“[DeLillo] isolate[s] the raw material of the form, the language, through speech fragments and monologues, in the same way a painter might with color ... It’s an ability of DeLillo’s both philosophic and poetic, to stare at the familiar thing, to see the familiar new…”
—Alexander Sammartino, Literary Hub

"DeLillo's prose is always supple, his gaze into our culture's black hole as penetrating as ever. Equal parts lush and spare, The Silence never settles for easy answers."
—Hamilton Cain, Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"DeLillo's shrewd, darkly comic observations about the extravagance and alienation of contemporary life can still slice like a scalpel."
—Leah Greenblatt, EW

“To read DeLillo is to engage in a process wherein the author’s clarity forces our own...He treats the topical...as a yearning for commonality, mutuality, something to share...He wants to tell us not just what is, but how it feels, and It’s this ability to describe the moment’s emotion that constitutes his genius.”
—Joshua Cohen, The New York Times Book Review

"It is in his deft handling of the novel event's consequences—the space he creates in the wake of disruption—that DeLillo achieves his most profound effects."
—M. C. Armstrong, The Brooklyn Rail

"This masterfully written tale is compelling, timely and utterly eye-opening."
—Kami Phillips, CNN Underscored

“DeLillo is the premiere 'writer’s writer'…He…returns with new language, reconstructing sentence by sentence and paragraph by paragraph true-feeling motifs about how all of this works.”
—Lauren Michele Jackson, Ssense

"The American master’s latest work of fiction..."
—AV Club

"In this wry and cutting meditation on collective loss, a rupture severs us, suddenly, from everything we've come to rely on. The Silence seems to absorb DeLillo's entire body of work and sand it into stone or crystal."
—Rachel Kushner

"A swift and searing haunting of a novel. An encapsulation of our continuing crisis of aberration and pause. The Silence is prime DeLillo.”
—Joy Williams

"DeLillo (Zero K) applies his mastery of dialogue to a spare, contemplative story...In the end, readers gain the timely insight that some were born ready for disaster while others remain unequipped...the work stands out among DeLillo’s short fiction."
—Publisher's Weekly

"Don DeLillo has written about America in the 20th century so acutely and capaciously that he's become a fixed star in our literary firmament. . . . . His work is darkly funny . . . [The Silence] is a powerful, short novel."
—Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times

"[DeLillo] is our laureate of paranoia and dread, a man who fully tapped into the mood of his age, as vital at his peak as any writer alive. . . . [The Silence] is a pristine disaster novel. . . . [H]is best writing here reminds us that, as he puts it . . . 'Life can get so interesting that we forget to be afraid.'"
—Dwight Garner, The New York Times

"Shrewd . . . . It’s tempting to view The Silence as reflective of the COVID-19 era, but it’d be wrong. . . . In spite of its short length, it gets at something deeper and, in its emphasis on where individuals choose to direct their attention, something more quintessentially American. If you were magically freed from all your digital obligations, how would you occupy yourself? If you had the option, would you choose it?"
—J. Howard Rosier, Boston Globe

“DeLillo delights in, rather than despairs over, the absurdities of modern experience...As an oenophile loves wine, Don DeLillo loves words . . The field of language is the real setting of The Silence."
—Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal

"Surging forth at full throttle before settling down to seated stillness, The Silence is a dark and luminous, amusing and devastating theater of systemic shocks and confluent paradoxes. . . . DeLillo is often lauded as something of a soothsayer, and The Silence, an engrossing addition to his oeuvre, is sure to add credence to that reputation."
—Paul D'Agostino, Hyperallergic

“An apocalyptic novel for our times”
—Guardian, Book of the Week

“The Silence is a horrifyingly resonant book”
—Observer

“DeLillo is a master stylist, and not a word goes to waste.”
—Anne Enright, Guardian

“Few people write as gorgeously as DeLillo can”
—Daily Telegraph

"THE SILENCE celebrates the muted hysteria of intelligent human beings in the face of universal calamity."
—Graham Robb, The Spectator

Least Fun Super Bowl Party Ever

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

It appears that some DeLillo disciples love this book. I'm not a DeLillo disciple. I'm not opposed to the brief, elliptical nature of late-period DeLillo. I think a lot of novels are too long, so I like the way he has come to winnow his novels down to the bare essence. With that said, it's a stretch to even call "The Silence" a novel. It's more like a way to satisfy a contract. The book is 116 pages, with big font from a children's story. "The Silence" takes place on Super Bowl Sunday. A couple, Diane and Max, have invited some people over. One, Martin, is a former student of Diane's, a professor of physics. The final couple, Tessa and Jim, are flying back to NYC from Paris. As their plane is preparing to land, there's some sort of electrical outage onboard, followed by a crash landing. Passengers, including Jim and Tessa, are transported to a medical clinic. The power is out at the clinic. As all plane crash survivors do, Jim and Tessa find a restroom and have sex. Meanwhile, at the party, the screen has gone dark before the start of the game. Max apparently placed a big bet, so he's angry. The others seems disturbed, but in a theoretical, DeLillo-like way, at the fact that everything has gone dark. Max proceeds to drink a lot of whiskey and venture out to see how widespread the outage is (without finding an answer). Tessa and Jim take a long hike from the clinic to their hosts' apartment. Some questions: they were just in a crash landing where a wing caught on fire (so a serious event); why not just go home? How did their plane even land in Newark? I'm assuming there were tons of other planes in the air, though DeLillo makes no mention of this. Was their plane the only one impacted? If so, why? Jim and Tessa get to the party but barely seem to know Max and Diane. They ask if they can lie down and end up napping in their hosts' bedroom. Martin is the weirdest of the characters. He is obsessed by a 1912 Einstein manuscript. All he does throughout the book is utter fragmentary nonsense, except at one point when he drops his pants to his ankles. In fact, the dialogue throughout is painfully unnatural. DeLillo has given up trying to capture ordinary human speech, so everyone now blurts out phrases like "cryptocurrency." No one listens to anyone. The dialogue is meant solely for the reader. But I can't grasp the overall point here. There are repeated references to WWIII, so I think DeLillo is asserting that a war has begun with an attack on the power grid, but without knowing the extent of the outage it is impossible to say. There are a lot of familiar echoes here to earlier DeLillo. Football was the topic in "End Zone." There was a major societal event/collapse in "White Noise." "The Silence" is almost like recycled DeLillo, the ghost of books past. It's strange that a book this short can contain large logistical gaps while simultaneously seeming cluttered, due to all the weird dialogue the characters throw past each other. This is the least interesting Super Bowl party you will ever attend.

The Silence

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

I own everything that this man has written and I classify his writings into two groups - BU and AU - Before Underworld and After Underworld, with Underworld being the pinnacle of Delillo's powers. The subsequent books never have quite lived up to what was. There was a steady build-up to Underworld through his previous novels with a precipitous fall in all that followed. The ideas presented in those works were never truly explored in books such as Zero-K, The Body Artist, and Cosmopolis.

Even when these novellas fell short, there was always something to sic your teeth into, his prose never disappointing. After the initial shock of how short this book was (and the fact I paid 20 bucks for a pamphlet) I knew I would get through this in one reading.

The set up is an event occurred that removed human connectivity through all electronic means. The book is centered around five characters and how they deal with this disconnect in the first 24 hours The world doesn't end with a bang, but with the title that Delillo presents to the reader. The echoes of his words, though too short left this reader with much to chew on and I see a definite second read in my future.

It is a brief read, but his prose is dead-on, and if an author can get you to think after you put down a 1 hr read he has done his job and in this case quite well.

The reader keeps wandering why should we focus on such uninteresting characters and dialogues when something really big is going on out there. And yet, atmospheric, almost haunting, it works as an evocation of a full length, more engaged book.

Better than Zero K, but then again, what isn't?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

Many, many years ago I read White Noise. What a great book! I then sought out other Delillo novels. Over the decades I've read many, some are better than others. Point Omega and Libra come immediately to mind as works I've enjoyed. The Silence is one of his better books. If you like Delillo you'll probably enjoy it. I wouldn't start here as an intro to his works.

Worthwhile but brief

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

A very slender book that left me wanting more.

Do not do what I did. Instead, read this book, as it should be read, in one sitting with no distractions.

In all of the reviews that I have read, no one mentioned the text style! My need for more of the story is somewhat resolved by the knowledge that when this accounting is written, the power is still off - as the typography is a manual typewriter style - and by the very act of the writing, some sort of civilization still exists.

Good to know.

Write what you know

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

It has been said that you should “write what you know”. Don DeLillo should have taken that advice when writing The Silence. To say this book is pretentious would be not only an understatement but also a missed opportunity to point out that this book says absolutely nothing. There is no possible way to care about or relate to the characters he presents, unless you find the bourgeois preoccupations of upper-middle class Americans absolutely fascinating.

Personally I’d like to think that there are far more important things to talk about, like what the premise of this book was supposed to be! Okay, so all of a sudden nothing works and this “severs all of the digital connections we depend on.” Right, so what about analogue ones? Radio waves have always been there and Marconi just discovered how to use them, so why is the world “plunged into silence” with no communication at all? He hasn’t researched anything about his subject. Please tell us how this is supposed to have happened, especially since there are actually CPUs that are resistant to solar flares and everything else. What was it? An extreme electromagnetic pulse, what? What’s with all these random quotes from Einstein that are no more profound than random internet memes misquoting Einstein?

There’s nothing about how humans would adapt to this situation, only some pointless repetitive conversations, actually it’s just dialogue with no actual conversing, and he somehow manages to work in a completely gratuitous and unerotic sex scene in a public toilet. The only insight in the whole book is when Tessa says to herself “I revisit old notebooks and sometimes it amazes me to read what I though was worth writing.” I think maybe Don DeLillo may have this exact realization one day when reading this book again.

Boring, pretentious and pointless

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I feel very misled by the prepublication hype for this book. Nothing of interest happens following what appears to be an unexplained global power failure. Just some people having tedious thoughts. Nobody (including the author) seems curious as to why this has happened or seeks to do anything about it. They are not even interested in how this could have affected battery operated devices and vehicles. Just a lot of inconsequential waffle I'm afraid. I'll be much more cautious about pre-ordering a book in the future.

I found it boring...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

I hate to write a critical review, especially of an artistic product, as its so subjective. However I found this book boring and irrelevant. The plot is connected somehow to some "catastophic" event. However the catastrophy seems mild (TV and phones seem to be not working?) and this is in no way an interesting novel about how people might react to a 'catastrophy', which is how it was sold to me.

"What follows is a dazzling and profoundly moving conversation about what makes us human. Never has the art of fiction been such an immediate guide to our navigation of a bewildering world. Never have DeLillo’s prescience, imagination, and language been more illuminating and essential."

Nope, Nothing even remotely like this. If you are dazzled by this book I suggest you start reading a bit more. This is not War and Peace for the digital age, this is a pamphlet about a few characters having a few extra glasses of whiskey in the dark.

I started reading this in bed after drinking a gallon of red wine. This book made me feel a whole lot drunker.
I re-read it in the morning thinking I'd missed something of value in it due to the wine.
It was even worse to read it sober. I'm stopping drinking so much and I've stopped buying Guardian newspaper book recommendations. The worst book I've read in many years. An exciting premise for the book which is disregarded in favour of pretentious, migraine inducing waffle.

De Lillo does what De Lillo writes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am absolutely biased when it comes to De Lillo, whose unique voice and style I've fallen in love with long ago.
His latest work, a short story actually, delivers exactly what you would expect from a De Lillo's work, so no, it's not offering you any answer nor solution, and no, it's not here to tell you a happy ending story or who love and justice will prevail. It's part scientific analysis (but there's no science behind it), part listing. It's conversations, it's dialogue that don't need characters to express them.
I find it almost a nostalgic opera, it's the author showing us what he doesn't understand anymore of this world, of what is most likely coming, of what, ultimately, defines us as human being.
Yes, it could have been longer, yes it could have been better....
But De Lillo does what De Lillo writes, there is an immediacy in his writing, a sense of simple stylistic profoundness that's hardly findable anywhere else, and I love him for that.
