`Point Omega is a treat: the most satisfying and least cryptic of DeLillo`s late novels` - Sunday Telegraph. Richard Elster, a retired secret war adviser, has retreated to a forlorn house in a desert, `somewhere south of nowhere`. But his planned isolation is interrupted when he is joined by a young filmmaker intent on documenting his experience in a one-take film. The two men sit on the deck, drinking and talking. Weeks go by. And then Elster`s daughter Jessie visits. When a devastating event follows, all the men`s talk, the accumulated meaning of conversation and isolation, is thrown into question. Written in hypnotic prose, this substantial novel is both a metaphysical meditation and a deeply unsettling mystery, from which one thing emerges: loss, fierce and incomprehensible. `Another formidable construction by a very distinctive writer` - Evening Standard. `A pared, intense so rigorous and so precise` - Observer. `Impossible to forget` - Sunday Times.
