Point Omega by Don DeLillo
5.0
I can see why this book wouldn't do it for certain readers, but DeLillo's voice has always just washed deeply into the cracks in my soul, probing, questioning, wavering, and playing with the language he wields so uniquely.
Omega Point is probably closest to The Body Artist in terms of its simplicity and focus on a single character contemplating an ineffable, impossible artwork. If all that contemplation - vaguely meandering around unutterable truths of existence we can only hope to glimpse in moments of revelation, if at all - sounds like hard work, or pointless, then this definitely isn't the book for you. If, however, these inner workings are something you enjoy - the slow, ambiguous search for meaning or something similar - then this is one of his finest works: isolated, spare, bleak, broken.
