The Names by Don DeLillo

TRADE PAPERBACK RE-ISSUE [1989] VINTAGE CONTEMPORARIES

1st Vintage Contemporaries printing. Scarce 1989 re-issue of this classic '78 DeLillo with epic cover illustration by Marc Tauss. 

Book is in excellent condition.  Near mint with mild shelf wear to cover.  Reads like new with a hint of tanning.

DeLillo’s seventh novel is an exotic thriller. Set mostly in Greece, it concerns a mysterious ‘language cult’ seemingly behind a number of unexplained murders. Obsessed by news of this ritualistic violence, an American risk analyst is drawn to search for an explanation. We follow him on his obsessive journey that begins to take over his life and the lives of those closest to him.

In addition to offering a series of strong precise character studies, The Names explores the intersection of language and culture, the perception of America from both inside and outside its borders, and the impact that narration has on the facts of a story. Meditative and probing, DeLillo wonders: how does one cope with the fact that the act of articulation is simultaneously capable of defining and circumscriptively restricting access to the self?
