by Don DeLillo
I really like how provoking it is, and how ot illustrates postmodern literature. I think I will be rereading it again because it lacks closure. The fact that at the end we don't know what happens to Jessie puts me on edge. I reread it because I keep thinking that I will find clues I overlooked. I fo...
The true Life takes place when we're alone, thinking, feeling, lost in memory, dreamingly self-aware, the submicroscopic moments Point Omega is not the first novel I try by Dellilo.

A small range of damn good brief reviews by GR pals has me sweating my own take on DeLillo's latest, not least because that take is itself complicated by a blur of expectations for the novel and a (lovely!) dissonant confounding sense of mystery in the novel. I finished and almost immediately went ...
