There was once a galleycat blog post about this design (http://www.adweek.com/galleycat/design-for-living-by-penguins-paul-buckley/3545 from around 2006), but it seems to have disappeared.
In it, Buckley said: "When I was designing Don DeLillo's back list, I got so excited by the project that I just started designing anything DeLillo. When I brought this cover to my packaging meeting my publisher looked quizzically at my editor and my editor looked back at me saying 'uhh Paul, it's gorgeous and all, but we don't own this book, never have.'"
Here's a short bit from Buckley re:DeLillo designs
