This strange ghost story/grieving performance piece still hasn't settled with me. In that respect, it's quite successful. In others, not so much. (I'd love to see a stage version, though.)

My least favourite Delillo, and I generally enjoy his work. I don't know why this was published let alone included on the 1001 list. I could be missing the point but I think it's just rubbish. Strange and pointless story about a performance artist grieving about the loss of her husband - possible ghost story element, meant to examine grief and reality but is not effective. Glad it was very short though.
I don't think it should be in the list and don't understand its inclusion.”
