Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Words cannot fill the emptiness ( ) Oerhört välskriven roman. Fokus ligger på döden, eller är det livet. Eller kanske livet efter döden? "Alla vill äga jordens undergång". En bok man behöver lägga ifrån sig flera gånger under tidens gång, bara för att bara fundera över vad man precis läst. Tyvärr blir jag lite paff över slutet, då det nästan inte finns något. Behöver nog fundera ett bra tag till över innehållet. There are illuminating moments of deep insight followed by passages mired in strange, surreal tableaux. I *think* this book is supposed to juxtapose deconstructionist language and criticism of consumerism with a philosophical discussion of death, but the plotting and language is so obtuse, it's hard to tell. If you've never read DeLillo, stop, pass Go, and then go read White Noise instead. I'm a DeLillo fan, and even I can't decide if I think this book is brilliant or just bad. I'll probably be debating this for awhile. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The richest, wisest, funniest, and most moving novel in years from Don Delillo, one of the great American novelists of our time-- an ode to language, the heart of our humanity; a meditation on death and an embrace of life. Jeffrey Lockhart's father, Ross, is a George Soros-like billionaire now in his sixties, with a younger wife, Artis, whose health is failing. Ross is the primary investor in a deeply remote and secret compound where death is controlled and bodies are preserved until a future moment when medicine and technology can reawaken them. Jeffrey joins Ross and Artis at the compound to say an uncertain farewell to her as she surrenders her body. Ross Lockhart is not driven by the hope for immortality, for power and wealth beyond the grave. He is driven by love for his wife, for Artis, without whom he feels life is not worth living. It is that which compels him to submit to death long before his time. Jeffrey heartily disapproves. He is committed to living, to the mingled astonishments of our time, here, on earth. Thus begins an emotionally resonant novel that weighs the darkness of the world-- terrorism, floods, fires, famine, death-- against the beauty of everyday life; love, awe, the intimate touch of earth and sun. Brilliantly observed and infused with humor, Don Delillo's Zero K is an acute observation about the fragility and meaning of life, about embracing our family, this world, our language, and our humanity.
