{"product_id":"9780330512398-secondhand-point-omega","title":"Point Omega","description":"Written in hypnotic prose, Don DeLillo's  Point Omega  is both a metaphysical meditation and a deeply unsettling mystery, from which one thing emerges: loss, fierce and incomprehensible. Richard Elster, a retired secret war adviser, has retreated to a forlorn house in a desert, 'somewhere south of nowhere'. But his planned isolation is interrupted when he is joined by a young filmmaker intent on documenting his experience in a one-take film. The two men sit on the deck, drinking and talking. Weeks go by. And then Elster's daughter Jessie visits. When a devastating event follows, all the men's talk, the accumulated meaning of conversation and isolation, is thrown into question. Reading the fiction of Don DeLillo is an utterly original experience: powerful, prescient, perceptive. Writing in a prose that is both majestic and muscular, his unerringly accurate vision penetrates deep into the soul of America and consistently leaves readers with a fresh perspective on the world. Since the publication of his first novel, in 1971, he has been acknowledged across the world as one of the greatest writers of his generation.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48979936739547,"sku":"9780330512398-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e4f8e64f-be9e-4f34-b87c-8f83ae3f08fd.jpg?v=1784220471","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780330512398-secondhand-point-omega","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
