Description
|
|
|
|
Penned between Underworld, a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, and the edgier Cosmopolis, the basis for the David Cronenberg film of the same name, The Body Artist was shortlisted for the 2001 James Tait Black Prize. Don DeLillo's compact novel begins with a scene of detailed normality: breakfast for Lauren and her husband Rey in a ramshackle rented house in New England. But the following page is Rey's obituary, and Lauren, a performance artist, retreats into her house and her own inner world to enact a metaphysical grieving process—and encounters something resembling a ghost hiding upstairs. "A novel that is both slight and profound, a distilled meditation on perception and loss, and a poised, individual ghost story for the 21st century."—Observer (London)
