ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
| In this spare, seductive novel Don DeLillo inhabits the muted world of Lauren Hartke, an artist whose work defies the limits of the body. Lauren is living on a lonely coast, in a rambling rented house, where she encounters a strange, ageless man, a man with uncanny knowledge of her own life. Together they begin a journey into the wilderness of time - time, love and human perception. |
| ABOUT THE AUTHOR |
| This is Don DeLillo's twelfth novel. His fiction has won many honours worldwide, including the National Book Award, the Jerusalem Prize for his complete body of work and the Howells Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters for Underworld. Underworld was shortlisted for the 1999 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. |
