“I'm on the fence on this novella. A discussion with some college friends on Teilhard De Chardin (whose Omega Point concept was DeLillo's inspiration for this) led me back to try the author after many years. Ironically, you spend the whole time looking for the "point" of the two different narratives. But the storytelling, characters and descriptions of both the desert retreat setting, and of the NY performance art, are all worth it. Maybe the only element missing is a sense of time and conclusion, and maybe that's the point.”
