DeLillo

A subtle, beautiful Etsy letterpress from here and a thought-provoking book - White Noise. I read the novel as part of an undergraduate course on the post-modern American novel. Bookended in the course by analysis of Paul Auster's The New York Trilogy and Toni Morrison's Jazz, this quote from White Noise stands out for me:

What good is knowledge if it just floats in the air? It goes from computer to computer. It changes and grows every second of every day. But nobody actually knows anything.
