Summary
First time in Modern Classics
In this powerful, eerily convincing fictional speculation on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Don DeLillo chronicles Lee Harvey Oswald’s odyssey from troubled teenager to a man of precarious stability who imagines himself an agent of history. When “history” presents itself in the form of two disgruntled CIA operatives who decide that an unsuccessful attempt on the life of the president will galvanize the nation against communism, the scales are irrevocably tipped.

About The Author
Don DeLillo
Don DeLillo, born in 1936, is the author of thirteen novels, five plays, and numerous short stories. His first novel, Americana (1971), signaled the arrival of a significant literary figure. Subsequent novels solidified his standing as a uniquely compelling voice in late-twentieth-century American fiction. DeLillo’s comedic talent is evident in White Noise (1985), which won the National Book Award, and Underworld (1997), featuring memorable portrayals of Jackie Gleason and Lenny Bruce.
