Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This novel's a beauty. A vision as bold and a voice as eloquent and morally focused as any in American writing" --Thomas Pynchon

The writing is dazzling; the images, so radioactive that they glow afterward in our minds." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

L'autore:

Acclaimed novelist, poet, and essayist Don DeLillo published his first short  story when he was twenty-three years old. He has since written twelve novels, including  White Noise (1985), which won the National Book Award. It was followed by  Libra (1988), his novel about the assassination of President Kennedy, and by Mao  II , which won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. In 1997, he published the  bestselling Underworld , and in 1999 he was awarded the Jerusalem Prize, given to a  writer whose work expresses the theme of the freedom of the individual in society;  he was the first American author to receive it. DeLillo is also a member of the  American Academy of Arts and Letters.
