A short, stark piece of writing, about a solitary woman dealing with grief, loss, and the possible presence of a ghost in the house that might - or might not be - only conjured from her own mind. It serves as an introduction to DeLillo's longer fiction, such as the brilliant 'Libra' - about the...

Did not care for this much, but I kept at it hoping that it would get better. Plus I was a captive audience (books on tape) during my commute. Finished it & immediately returned it to the library & picked up something else.

    A short, stark piece of writing, about a solitary woman dealing with grief, loss, and the possible presence of a ghost in the house that might - or might not be - only conjured from her own mind. It serves as an introduction to DeLillo's longer fiction, such as the brilliant 'Libra' - about the assassin of President Kennedy, and the monumental 'Underworld' - a vast panorama of America through scattered individuals during the Cold war. He shows in these books a wide understanding and insight into American society and into our own age. A great writer.
