In 'Libra', DeLillo turns back to the double event that fixed death most intimately in the collective minds of America - the assassination of John Kennedy and the incessant replay, on TV, of the murder of his assassin.

Set against the backdrop of a lush and exotic Greece, The Names is considered the book which began to drive "sharply upward the size of his readership" (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Among the cast of DeLillo's bizarre yet fully realized characters in The Names are Kathryn, the narrator's estranged wife; their son, the six-year-old novelist; Owen, the scientist; and the neurotic narrator obsessed with his own neuroses. A thriller, a mystery, and still a moving examination of family, loss, and the amorphous and magical potential of language itself, The Names...

Don DeLillo bývá označován za jednoho ze tří největších žijících amerických prozaiků (vedle Cormaca McCarthyho a Thomase Pynchona) - a jeho poslední kniha, útlý román Ticho, výmluvně dokládá proč. Děj románu není nijak složitý: na Manhattanu se jeden postarší manželský pár spolu s mladším rodinným přítelem chystá v televizi sledovat Super Bowl, tedy finále ligy amerického fotbalu. Připojit se k nim má druhý pár, který se právě letadlem vrací z Paříže. Svět však náhle postihne blíže nespecifikovaná, zato však totální technologická...

Don De Lillo je znám především jako romanopisec – a to ne ledajaký: kupříkladu nejvlivnější americký kritik současnosti Harold Bloom jej neváhal označit za jednoho ze čtyř největších žijících amerických prozaiků (vedle Cormaca McCarthyho, Philipa Rotha a Thomase Pynchona). Anděl Esmeralda je ovšem DeLillova první sbírka povídek – a opět nikoli sbírka ledajaká: americká kritika i čtenářská obec se vesměs shoduje, že se jedná o nejlepší autorovo dílo od přelomového románu Podsvětí (Underworld, 1997). Kniha nabízí průřez spisovatelovou...
