\"\"[fusion_dropcap boxed=”no” boxed_radius=”” class=”” id=”” color=”#003366″]N[\/fusion_dropcap]ow officially an octogenarian,\u00a0Don DeLillo is back in The New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0with “The Itch.” I haven’t particularly enjoyed much of DeLillo’s work over the past decade or so, but I’m always interested to see if he comes close to reaching the heights of his prior work. I’m curious what you all think of this one!<\/p>\n

Please join in the conversation below! Let me know how you feel about “The Itch” and DeLillo’s work in general.<\/p>\n
