Don Delillo

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism -when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than bovernments- are poised to crash. Eric packer, a billionaire sset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol's funeral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors- experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners- as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future. Cosmopolis, Don DeLillo's thirteenth novel, is both intimate and global, a vivid and moving account of the spectacular downfall of one man, and of an era.
