他的作品几乎全都强烈推荐！他因《白噪音》（White Noise）和《大都市》（Cosmopolis）（由演《暮光之城》那家伙演了改编电影）而闻名，但《毛二世》（Mao II）和《坠落的人》（Falling Man）可能是我的最爱。德里罗和考麦克·麦卡锡是我认为 100 年后仍会被人们阅读的两位当代作家。
Pretty much all of his work is highly recommended! He's famous for White Noise and Cosmopolis (there was a movie with the guy from Twilight), but Mao and Falling Man are probably my favorites. Delillo and Cormac McCarthy are two current authors I would expect to be read 100 years from now.
如果要谈《地下世界》（Underworld）之后的德里罗作品，就我而言，他那个时期的代表作——而且坦白说也是读完几周后唯一能留在记忆里的作品（我全读过）——就是《坠落的人》（Falling Man）。如果你问的是他创作生涯中任何时期的书，那么推荐《白噪音》，我个人认为这是他的最高成就。《地下世界》因为篇幅极长被吹得很神……
When it comes to post-Underworld DeLillo, as far as I am concerned his major novel of that period, and really the only work that sticks in the memory after a few weeks (and I have read them all) is Falling Man. If you are asking about books from any period of his output, then White Noise can be recommended, I personally see it as his greatest achievement. Underworld gets a lot of hype due to its sheer length…
他可能是我最喜欢的在世作家了（尽管说实话我主要看那些早就作古的作者写的书）。我读过几本。我觉得《天秤星座》（Libra）是写得最好的。我也读过《坠落的人》、《大都市》和《身体艺术家》（The Body Artist）。他的写作风格极佳。多年来我一直试图硬啃完《拉特纳的星》（Ratner's Star）。不差，但我想它确实不是最抓人的那一本。
He's probably my favorite living author (although to be honest I mostly read books by long dead authors). I've read a few. I think Libra was the best one. I also read Falling Man, Cosmopolis, and The Body Artist. He has a wonderful writing style. I've been trying to get through Ratner's Star for years. It's not bad but I suppose it's just not the most compelling.
在我读过的所有作品里，《坠落的人》似乎比其他任何书都更好地捕捉到了 9/11 之后美国人的心理状态变化。据我所见，我们在集体层面上至今仍在坠落。
Falling Man seemed to me to capture what happened to the American psyche post 9/11 better than anything else that I've read. As far as I can tell we're collectively still falling.
……他的写作题材包罗万象，从外交政策（《名字》The Names），到学术界（《白噪音》、《拉特纳的星》Ratner's Star），到肯尼迪遇刺案（《天秤星座》Libra），到冷战（《地下世界》Underworld），到金融（《大都市》Cosmopolis），到 9/11（《坠落的人》Falling Man），到伊拉克战争（《欧米茄点》Point Omega），再到创业文化与科技崇拜（《零度K》Zero K）。
…He's written about everything from foreign policy (The Names), to academia (White Noise, Ratner's Star), to JFK's assassination (Libra), to the Cold War (Underworld), to finance (Cosmopolis), to 9/11 (Falling Man), to the Iraq War (Point Omega), to start-up culture and worship of technology (Zero K).
