{"product_id":"point-omega-9781439169964","title":"Point Omega","description":"A brief, unnerving, and exceptionally hard-hitting novel about time and loss as only the bestselling and National Book Award-winning author of White Noise and Underworld can tell it.In this potent and beautiful novel, the writer The New York Times calls \"prophetic about twenty-first-century America\" looks into the mind and heart of a scholar who was recruited to help the military conceptualize the war. We see Richard Elster at the end of his service. He has retreated to the desert, in search of space and geologic time. There he is joined by a filmmaker and by Elster's daughter Jessica--an \"otherworldly\" woman from New York. The three of them build an odd, tender intimacy, something like a family. Then a devastating event turns detachment into colossal grief, and it is a human mystery that haunts the landscape of desert and mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Delillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.54w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439169964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon DeLillo is the author of seventeen novels including \u003ci\u003eUnderworld, Zero K, Libra, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e White Noise, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethe story collection\u003ci\u003e The Angel Esmeralda, a \u003c\/i\u003efinalist for the Story Prize and the PEN\/Faulkner Award for Fiction.
