ISBN: 9781439169957
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

Writing about conspiracy theory in Libra , government cover-ups in White Noise , the Cold War in Underworld , and 9/11 in Falling Man , DeLillos books have been weirdly prophetic about twenty-first century America ( The New York Times Book Review ). Now, in Point Omega , he takes on the secret strategists in Americas war machine. .In the middle of a desert somewhere south of nowhere, to a forlorn house made of metal and clapboard, a secret war advisor has gone in search of space and time. Richard Elster, seventy-three, was a scholaran outsiderwhen he was called to a meeting with government war planners. They asked Elster to conceptualize their effortsto form an intellectual framework for their troop deployments, counterinsurgency, orders for rendition. For two years he read their classified documents and attended secret meetings. He was to map the reality these men were trying to create. Bulk and swagger, he called it. . At the end of his service, Elster retreats to the desert, where he is joined by a filmmaker intent on documenting his experience. Jim Finley wants to make a one-take film, Elster its single characterJust a man against a wall. . The two men sit on the deck, drinking and talking. Finley makes the case for his film. Weeks go by. And then Elsters daughter Jessie visitsan otherworldly woman from New Yorkwho dramatically alters the dynamic of the story. When a devastating event follows, all the mens talk, the accumulated meaning of conversation and connection, is thrown into question. What is left is loss, fierce and incomprehensible..
