Description

Don DeLillo's Libra contains an introduction by the author in Penguin Modern Classics. This powerful and eerily convincing fictional speculation explores the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, tracing the journey of Lee Harvey Oswald from troubled teenager to a man of precarious stability who imagines himself an agent of history. When two disgruntled CIA operatives decide that an unsuccessful attempt on JFK's life will galvanize the nation against Communism, the course of events is irrevocably altered. Don DeLillo's unique voice brings this complex and thought-provoking narrative to life, offering a compelling exploration of the American popular consciousness. If you're drawn to DeLillo's distinctive style, you may also enjoy his earlier novel Americana, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
