Jack Gradini's extended family leads an ordinary and typical modern life, with regular supermarket shopping trips and Friday TV dinners being the cornerstones of their "happiness." However, a chemical leak sent deadly poisonous fog into the sky, announcing to him that "death has arrived, it is in your body." Fear has invaded every corner of the mind. It is like white noise, consistent and everywhere. "White Noise" won DeLillo the National Book Award. Since its publication, it has been hailed as a literary classic and the pinnacle representative of postmodern literature. It accurately describes the damage caused by modern civilization to the human mind and body, presents people's panic in the face of death, faith, disaster and violence, and makes a prophetic prediction of the plight of modern people.

James Eccleston, an American working as a risk analyzer in Greece, became attracted to a cult. They killed people everywhere and engraved the murder weapons with the initials of the victims. James and his friends were led by clues one by one, traveling through a strange country with hidden hostility, looking for the murderers and believers who sacrificed their lives to sacrifice the letters. "The Name" was created while DeLillo was living in Greece, and opened a glorious chapter of his novels in the 1980s. During his travels, he personally explored the remains of civilizations in Greece, the Middle East, and India, searching for changing names and languages. He also integrated the sunshine and scenery of Greece into this novel about language and reality, ancient civilizations, and American power.
