The Body Artist

Don DeLillo

Scribner, NY. 2001. First edition hardback. Wrapped; like new. A wonderful gift.

From the publisher:

"The Body Artist is a novella written in 2001 by Don DeLillo. It explores the highly abnormal grieving process of a young performance artist, Lauren Hartke, following the suicide of her significantly older husband. The novella is sometimes described as a ghost story due to the appearance of an enigmatic figure that Lauren discovers hiding in an upstairs room of the house following her husband's death."

A lovely, brief read that ushers in the era of DeLillo obsessing with the full capacity of art. A fully realized vision. Available for a nice price because I want someone to get this for Christmas.
