Query: Disappointing

I am a fan of Don Delillo and can usually defend him against most accusations of pretentiousness, unbelievable plots and dialogue and one dimensional characters. But I'm afraid I cannot defend him against these accusations with regards to Valparaiso. Perhaps as a performance - it is afterall written to be performed - I would view it differently - but I don't think so. Valparaiso is not a good story, it is not a good play - Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor is far more successful at dealing with similar themes and it's that book which I recommend.
