A review by joakley
Libra by Don DeLillo

5.0

Great! I think more of a 4.5, at times it feels like it went more subject matter fact dump, but overall there is a type of enchantment about this book. You get sucked in in the same way a conspiracy can suck people in, but not because you think this account is what actually happened, but because the power and force of delillo describing “history” and “stories within a story” and how individuals fit into those grander concepts. Which I guess is true delillo, small small people fitting into a grand grand scheme
