Summoned to decode a radio signal received from distant Ratner's Star, fourteen-year-old Nobel Laureate William Terwilliger, Bronx genius, has some run-ins with wild scientists, giddy researchers, and batty schemers

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"[DeLillo's] most spectacularly inventive novel." --The New York Times

"A mind-expanding trip to the finish line, and full of wit and slapstick as well..." --Washington Post Book World 

"Brilliantly...enormously ambitions.... Ratner's Star uses the story of an innocent's 'education' as the launching pad for a provocative, prodigious satire on those pioneers who journey beyond the frontiers of knowledge and end up more ignorant than they were when they set forth." --Chicago Tribune Book World

"This red giant of a book...is not only interesting, but funny (in a nervous kind of way)." --The New York Times Book Review
