Abstract
The environment is a matter of great concern for environmentalists and governments alike. Climate change, rise in global temperatures, natural disasters etc. have attracted worldwide attention and the COPs being held in different countries every year draw world leaders to a common platform to discuss and thrash out solutions to climate related issues. It is worth examining how recent literature has reacted to the problems associated with the environment. Don DeLillo’s The White Noise published in 1985 is a novel which interweaves environmental issues with the compulsions of the media -driven society we live in with all the happenings in the world reaching us, mediated by the TV and radio channels thus making access to reality or truth a difficult affair. The paper looks at the representation of the environment/media interface in Don DeLillo’s White Noise drawing insights from ecocritical studies and postmodern theories of representation.
