Point Omega

Don DeLillo's prose has an aridity and a metallic tang that is enhanced, I believe, by the fact that his books are set in Electra. Point Omega reminded me at times of the Antonioni film Zabriskie Point, both for its setting and its detached style. If you are looking for a traditional narrative, look elsewhere. If you are looking for ice-cold sentences stacked one on top of the other, it's here.
