Eric Packer is a twenty-eight-year-old multi-billionaire asset manager. We join him on what will become a particularly eventful April day in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Manhattan. Hes on a personal odyssey, to get a haircut.Sitting in his stretch limousine as it moves across town, he finds the city at a virtual standstill because the President is visiting, a rappers funeral is proceeding, and a violent protest is being staged in Times Square by anti-globalist groups. Most worryingly, Erics bodyguards are concerned that he may be a target ...It is infused with deep cynicism and measured detachment; a harsh indictment of the life-denying tendencies of capitalism; as brutal a dissection of the American dream as Wolfes Bonfire or Ellis Psycho, Cosmopolis is a caustic prophecy all too quickly realised. Don DeLillo is the acclaimed author of fifteen novels and three plays. He has won the National Book Award, the Jerusalem Prize and the Irish Times International Fiction Prize.
