Libra - don delillo

On November 22, 1963, in the streets of Dallas, Lee Harvey Oswalds path intersected with the President John F.

Kennedys and the world witnessed the terrifying explosion of Americas dreams.

In Libra Don DeLillo applies his masterful imagination to Kennedys assassination and crestes eerily convincing speculation about one of Americas most compelling mysteries.

From the author of White Noise (winner of the National Book Award) and Zero K 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.

A gripping, masterful blend of fact and fiction, alive with meticulously portrayed characters both real and created, Libra is a grave, haunting, and brilliant examination of an event that has become an indelible part of the American psyche.
