Winner of the National Book Award, White Noise tells the story of Jack Gladney; his fourth wife, Babette; and four ultramodern offspring as they navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism.

When an industrial accident unleashes an "airborne toxic event", a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the "white noise" engulfing the Gladneys - radio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmurings - pulsing with life yet suggesting something ominous.

Much of the time, the story was just too metaphorical for me. As a story, it often felt out of control. Not my thing.

Funny, but odd

Sarcastic and sardonic book. Interesting nonetheless. Narrator has vocal tics. I like that the story portrayed the messiness of life.

Unique story, if there is a story. I tried to find meaning. Found I was glad to be done with it.

I loved it but it's a little confused, so pay attention while reading. The story is very interesting

very nice book

Flat, dry, and boring. The narrator presents the story in such a way that it amplifies it's contrived nature.

Typical postmodernism.
