Biography
Dr. Mark Osteen is the editor of the Library of America's collection of Don DeLillo's works. Volume I, entitled Don DeLillo: Three Novels of the 1980s. The Names, White Noise, Libra, was published in 2022; the second volume includes two novels of the 1990s, Mao II (1991) and DeLillo鈥檚 magnum opus, Underworld (1997). The LOA is a nonprofit dedicated to publishing the best in American literature. Getting published by LOA is the informal hallmark of an author's acceptance into the canon, and DeLillo is only the fourth author to be published by LOA while still living (he is now 88 years old). Dr. Osteen compiled a bibliography and a chronology and created the notes for both volumes.
