Abstract
Don DeLillos well-kept secret mind of fiction White Noise highlights suspense and intelligence of his writing. Postmodernist elements of his fiction reveal, the superhero exist only as myths in the modern world; we are natures elements, a technologically oriented people on the other hand caught in the sieve of history. This study focuses on an industrial accident that occurs at a small Midwestern town in which the total town is evacuated. Jacks family is also evacuated. The highlight of the history is Union Carbide disaster in India that killed over two thousand people and injured thousands more. Carbide is one of the most poisonous gases, which is injurious to health. It is made from rail car released as dark clouds of chemical spills in the science laboratory. Particularly, it seems timelier and frightening the environments, which is rendering American numbness. The toxic nature of Carbide results in man- made disasters, which threatens the society and the survival of nature. Here, DeLillo explores death as a result of chemical poisoning which forms the major theme of the novel, however death is inevitable and annihilation that seizes everyones consciousness.
