DeLillo, Don. The Names.. Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1982.

Price: US$475.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of this "brilliant. a powerful, haunting book" (The New York Times Book Review). Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Frank Best ever Don DeLillo." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Fred Marcellino. 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 stands with any of DeLillo's more recent and highly acclaimed works.
