New Additions to the DeLillo Page - 1999

This page notes all the new additions to the page that were done in 1999.

I tracked down a real DeLillo rarity; it's the Fall 1985 issue of Fordham magazine, which features a reprint of the story "Human Moments in World War III," an excerpt of the LeClair interview, a short profile of DeLillo by Thomas Ranieri, accompanied by a photo of DeLillo standing by the painting that was used as the cover of Players.
