Where has pynchon ever said anything about Delillo?
Nathan Hughes
He blurbed Mao II.
>This novel's a beauty. DeLillo takes us on a breathtaking journey, beyond the official versions of our daily history, behind all easy assumptions about who we're supposed to be, with a vision as bold and a voice as eloquent and morally focused as any in American writing.
Nolan Foster

I've only tried White Noise. Didn't leave a big impression on me or leave me wanting more..

I wouldn't label him that, but he is one of the greats of contemporary literature.
Libra and Mao II are his best works imo, but Point Omega is extremely underrated.
