Don DeLillo

Connected to World tree.

So far, the only woman in lists?

John Barth Connected to the big tree.

Don DeLillo connected to the big tree.

Oops, not so much. A mixup on Ernest Tarquinio Donaruma vs Ernest T Donaruma, Jr.

Don DiLillo is from the latter family.

Giannina Braschi Connected through her brother’s partner, and he has many more colonial New England lines that can be hooked in.

She’s an interesting writer, thanks for the introduction, Vladislav

Don DeLillo Figured out the previous error, and he’s now connected. All Italian-American, a couple of generations back to the Molise area.

But I enjoyed the most tracking his Bronx neighborhood, which he claimed stops at Bathgate Avenue, because that belongs to (fellow post modern writer) E. L. Doctorow.

John Fowles Connected to the big tree.

William Gaddis Connected to the big tree.
