All rights reserved.| Synopsis In this bleak American comedy, Jack and Babette are a typical middle-class suburban couple until an accident in a chemical plant changes their lives. Babette becomes addicted to a Prozac-like experimental drug called Dylar that removes her horror of death, and Jack sees the hollowness of consumer culture, the modern media, and his academic life (as a professor of Hitler Studies at a New England college). DeLillo's meditation on love and death and American culture was a National Book Award-winner in 1985.
Publisher's Note From a National Book Award-winning author comes this postmodern masterpiece. After a deadly toxic accident and his wife's addiction to an experimental drug, a man is forced to question everything about his life. | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||||||||||||||||
