Don DeLillo evokes our time's sensibilities and senselessness, illustrating the dangerous impact broadcast technology can have on society and individuals. An ordinary man takes an ordinary business trip to Valparaiso, Indiana that becomes a mock-heroic voyage toward identity and transcendence. Valparaiso: A Play explores the media-obsessed world where people expose more publicly than they do privately -- a world where everything's on display and no thought or desire goes unexpressed. DeLillo finds poetry in the mundane and reveals how the constant information flow creates America's reality and mythology.
