Abstract
This paper collects and analyses some of Don DeLillo's writerly counsel, with an eye to how this advice might promise fresh ways to consider the aims of writing fiction and the fiction writer's place in the contemporary world. Specifically, DeLillo is concerned with the writer's relationship to a contemporary culture that falls most readily into patterns of mass consumption, assimilation, and waste. To counter this, DeLillo asks the fiction writer to labor to find the smallest moments of the individual life and to confront a loss of individuation.
