Don DeLillo Point Omega Издательство: Picador Жанр: Picador Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 128 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub 'Point Omega is a treat: the most satisfying and least cryptic of DeLillo's late novels' — Sunday Telegraph. 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. Written in hypnotic prose, this substantial novel is both a metaphysical meditation and a deeply unsettling mystery, from which one thing emerges: loss, fierce and incomprehensible. 'Another formidable construction by a very distinctive writer' — Evening Standard. 'A pared, intense anti-parable... so rigorous and so precise' — Observer. 'Impossible to forget' — Sunday Times.
