Hailed as the emblematic «postmodern » novel by American academics, White Noise has received a largely uniform critical treatment that rarely ventures beyond the limits of cultural satire. This article aims at showing that such a reading gets bogged down in the banality that DeLillo uses for ironical purposes. I suggest that this novel is not a handbook on American supermarkets or Baudrillard' s simulacra, but a literary text, and that the only noise worth listening to is DeLillo 's writing itself
