The author of "White Noise". He didn't realize he was writing a parody of academia, but it's the best I've ever read.

Yes, that’s an amazing novel. A lot of people missed the humor in it.

As early as the mid-70’s, his novels were concerned the rise of terrorism in Western consciousness. A very prescient writer.

Excellent review; sounds like a very interesting book. I enjoyed “Libra” a great deal.

Thanks for the post.
