 Mao II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mao II, published in 1991, is Don DeLillo's tenth novel.
The title is derived from a series of silkscreen prints Andy Warhol made depicting Mao Zedong.
It concerns a reclusive novelist named Bill Gray, who sets off on a mission to gain the freedom of a hostage being held by terrorists in war-torn Beirut.

Mao Zedong is both the leader of the Chinese revolution and the enigmatic figure who appears in a photograph swimming across the Yangste River after a long period of reclusion and rumored death.
Mao is the embodiment of the revolution whose writings are memorized by the faithful millions, particularly around the time of the Cultural Revolution, and he is the mass-produced silk-screen image hanging in the MOMA and reproduced on the cover of _Mao II_.
As DeLillo well knows, and as _Mao II_ explores in great depth through the character of Karen Janney and her association with the Moon organization, Koresh's Branch Davidians are known as a "cult." Karen's free indirect discourse formulates this as follows: "The other word is `cult.' How they love to use it against us" (9).

 A Lecture on Mao II by Tom LeClair
Mao II is his first about a novelist and is a kind of epilogue to his first nine novels, which I recommend to you.
I'd like to suggest that Mao II is the kind of book Bill has learned to write, a book of voices in which no single voice has dominance.
If Mao II is an epilogue, the novelist reprising his novels, then the text may be larger than you thought, even more uncertain than it seems.

 Mao II by Don DeLillo
Summary of Mao II Don DeLillo's follow-up to Libra, his brilliant fictionalization of the Kennedy assassination, Mao II is a series of elusive set-pieces built around the themes of mass psychology, individualism vs. the mob, the power of imagery and the search for meaning in a blasted, post-modern world.
Lastly, I've debated with friends whether Delillo's vision in Mao II is a bleak one or a hopeful one.
Terrorism, according to the logic of Mao II, inhabits the very culture that it pretends to assail.

In "Mao II," Don DeLillo's lyrical novel about writers, terrorists and hostages, published in 1991 and awarded the PEN/Faulkner Award the following year, he masterfully explores the phenomenon of the reclusive writer.
It is not the ominous brilliance of impacted bombs that we encounter in this final scene, however, but a crew of photographic journalists with their flash units "shooting" the city.
While DeLillo's thinly veiled critique of New Criticism firmly posits the creative action in the hands of the author and not in some hypothetical readership, it is primarily the novel's moral focus, according to Thomas Pynchon, that makes "Mao II" such an engaging read.

 Stefan Landsberger's Chinese Propaganda Poster Pages--Mao Cult II
In many instances, Mao's head seemed to be surrounded by a halo which emanated a divine light, illuminating the faces of the people standing in his presence.
Not having the Mao portrait on display indicated an apparent unwillingness to go with the revolutionary flow of the moment, or even a counter-revolutionary outlook, and refuted the central role Mao played not only in politics, but in the day-to-day affairs of the people as well.
The continued importance of Mao as a political symbol is attested to by the issuance of a new 100-yuan bank note in 1999 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the PRC: the image of a youngish Mao graces the bill.
