DELILLO, Don. Cosmopolis. New York: Scribner, 2003. Octavo, original gray paper boards, original dust jacket. $350.
First edition of this novel set in the year 2000, signed on the title page in the year of publication by Don DeLillo.
"Perhaps the best way to read Cosmopolis isn't as a novel (not even a "novel of ideas") but as a prose-poem about New York—less Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four than Hart Crane's The Bridge… DeLillo has always been good at telling us where we're heading. What he describes here is an enslavement to money markets, scrolling screens and virtual realities… [W]e ignore him at our peril" (The Guardian).
