Don DeLillo, Richard Prince : Don DeLillo: The Word for Snow before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Don DeLillo: The Word for Snow:

One my my favorite authors, Mary Rakow, refers to his writing as "handsome." I think so too.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It's the End of the Word As We Know ItBy John MaderaTerse, tense, topical, Don DeLillo’s The Word for Snow offers a peculiar triangulated conversation between a Pilgrim, Scholar (“a theologian of lost things”), and Translator, each of whom subverts their expected roles even as they disarmingly perform them. Facing a disintegrating, perhaps even vanishing world, the Pilgrim seeks guidance from the Scholar who’s evasive at best, “answering” questions indirectly, his puzzling responses further obfuscated, contradicted, or “merely” repeated by the translator, so-called answers really just more questions, which lead to further uncertainty. It’s a cliché to say that DeLillo’s plays and his short late novels are condensed vehicles of his thematic obsessions and stylistic predilections. That said, this play does offer a number of DeLillo’s concerns, namely, time, memory, and especially language, its possibilities and its limits, writ small. “Recite the words,” the Interpreter says; “Say ,” the Scholar says; both commands echoing lines in The Names (“Use names,” etc.) and (the “Name the parts” scene), not to mention scenes from much of DeLillo’s oeuvre all the way up through (“Say her name,” “Say it. And Say it. And say it,” etc.) Language isn’t redemptive in The Word for Snow’s bleak “landscape,” though, but a kind detritus, all that’s left of a soon-to-be-destroyed world, as if to say that, contrasting with one mythological beginning with its always-already Word, in the end there’s only the lowercase "w" word, the word not meaning what it used to mean, ought to mean, the very idea of translation not only fraught and fractured but futile even.
