Description

A fictional speculation on the assassination of John F Kennedy, this work chronicles Lee Harvey Oswald's odyssey from troubled teenager to a man of precarious stability, who imagines himself an agent of history.

Author description

The author of thirteen novels, five plays, and numerous short stories, Don DeLillo was born in 1936. Americana (1971), his first novel, announced the arrival of a major literary talent, and the novels that followed confirmed his reputation as one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in late-twentieth-century American fiction. DeLillo's comic gifts come to the fore in White Noise (1985), which won the National Book Award, and Underworld (1997), with its vivid portraits of actor Jackie Gleason and standup comedian Lenny Bruce.
