Articoli correlati a Zero k
Jeffrey Lockhart has been summoned to The Convergence: a remote and secret compound where death is exquisitely, cryogenically controlled. He is there to say goodbye to his stepmother, Artis, who has chosen to surrender her dying body; preserving it until a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return her to a life of transcendent promise. And his healthy father, Ross, might join her. Hypnotic and seductive, Zero K is a visionary novel about the legacies we leave, the nobility of death, and the ultimate worth of 'the mingled astonishments of our time, here, on earth.'

Recensione:
Both beautiful and profound, certainly DeLillo's best since Underworld, it forces us to confront the spectre of our own mortality, to ask deep questions of our motives in wishing to prolong our span on Earth. We finish the novel with a sudden recognition of the kindness of death, the balm of a bounded life (Observer)
DeLillo is one of urban life's most perceptive chroniclers (Independent)
DeLillo's 16th novel takes a sanguine and, as usual, perceptive look at life as it is now, beset by wars, terrorism and the catastrophic results of climate change, and balances them against the beauty and joy that can be involved in being human (Daily Mail)
Humanly moving . . . sentence by sentence brilliance of phrasing and cadence (Literary Review)
A kind of greatest-hits compilation of earlier motifs and gestures (London Review of Books)
Haunting. . . Simultaneously terrifying yet beautifully told with a real tenderness for the everyday details of life in New York. . . certainly not to be missed (GQ)
Very moving . . . his optimism is a welcome gift in this intense and deeply considered book (Prospect)
A visionary novel of ideas that remembers even visionary novels are read by living, breathing humans (Independent)
As he approaches 80, Don DeLillo is still producing work that channels America's tensions. . . supple and sad and oddly compassionate too; his most fully realised work in more than a decade (Guardian)
DeLillo's spare eloquence and the cosmic depression underlying it makes this emptiest of novels a rich reading experience (The Times)

The wisest, richest, funniest, and most moving novel in years from Don DeLillo, one of the great American novelists of our time-an ode to language, at the heart of our humanity, a meditation on death, and an embrace of life.
