His smile is shy, his laugh sudden.ĭon DeLillo’s parents came to America from Italy. I also discovered after many hours of interviewing spread out over several days-a quick lunch, a visit some months later to a midtown gallery to see an Anselm Kiefer installation, followed by a drink at a comically posh bar-that DeLillo is a kind man, generous and thoughtful, qualities incompatible with the reflexive wariness of the paranoid. He’s a disciplined observer searching for details. He looks to the right, to the left he turns his head to see what’s behind him.īut his edgy manner has nothing to do with anxiety. His eyes, magnified by thick lenses, are restless without being shifty. I met Don DeLillo for the first time in an Irish restaurant in Manhattan, for a conversation he said would be “deeply preliminary.” He is a slender man, gray haired, with boxy brown glasses.
