Description

Written in hypnotic prose, Don DeLillo''s Point Omega is both a metaphysical meditation and a deeply unsettling mystery, from which one thing emerges: loss, fierce and incomprehensible.Richard Elster, a retired secret war adviser, has retreated to a forlorn house in a desert, ''somewhere south of nowhere''. But his planned isolation is interrupted when he is joined by a young filmmaker intent on documenting his experience in a one-take film. The two men sit on the deck, drinking and talking. Weeks go by. And then Elster''s daughter Jessie visits. When a devastating event follows, all the men''s talk, the accumulated meaning of conversation and isolation, is thrown into question.Reading the fiction of Don DeLillo is an utterly original experience: powerful, prescient, perceptive. Writing in a prose that is both majestic and muscular, his unerringly accurate vision penetrates deep into the soul of America and consistently leaves readers with a fresh perspective on the world. Since the publication of his first novel, in 1971, he has been acknowledged across the world as one of the greatest writers of his generation.
