Praise for Americana "DeLillo's swift, ironic, and witty cross-country American nightmare doesn't have a dull or an unoriginal line."
–Rolling Stone "Nearly every sentence of
Americana rings true, an insistence upon the authenticity behind the stereotypes . . . DeLillo is a man of frightening perception."

Joyce Carol Oates, The Detroit Sunday News "There have been many–too-many–novels in which the protagonist tries to find himself: here is one in which he tries to lose himself."
–The New York Times
