“A splendid, fierce novel by a deep practitioner of the form.... Enlivening, challenging, harrowing and beautiful.”—Matthew Sharpe, Los Angeles Times
"If Underworld was DeLillo’s extravagant funeral for the twentieth century, Point Omega is the farewell party for the last decade.... DeLillo has .... written the first important novel of the year."--Michael Miller, New York Observer
“A novel of ideas — about how language, film and art alter what we think of as reality. It's for readers ready to slow down and savor the words. It's for those who would watch not just Psycho, but ponder the meanings of ‘24 Hour Psycho’.”—Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
“DeLillo is, without any doubt or qualification, one of the most influential, brilliant, gifted and insightful of American novelists. There are sentences in this book that are breathtaking.”—Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
“Haunting... DeLillo slows down the whole culture, all of our repertoire of artifacts, words, and gestures.”—Greil Marcus
“DeLillo has achieved a precision and economy of language here that any writer would envy.”—David Ignatius, Washington Post Book World
New York. Depuis plusieurs jours, un homme vient, seul, assister, dans une salle du MOMA, à la projection au ralenti du film d'Hitchcock Psychose, proposée, sous le titre 24 Hour Psycho, par le plasticien Douglas Gordon. Bien loin de là, en plein désert, le taciturne Richard Elster, universitaire à la retraite, accueille avec réticence chez lui le jeune cinéaste Jim Finley qu'intéresse la collaboration scientifique apportée parce spécialiste de la "loi de l'extinction" au Pentagone pendant la guerre d'Irak. Les deux hommes sont rejoints dans leur solitude par Jessie, la fille d'Elster... Des images étirées à l'infini du film d'Hitchcock aux mots, toujours plus rares, qu'échangent trois personnages déconnectés du monde face aux illisibles étendues du désert, Point Oméga invite à faire l'expérience de perceptions inédites à la faveur d'une temporalité mutante, et à prendre la mesure secrète du monde. Plus énigmatique que n'importe quel secret-défense, plus assourdissant que le fracas des guerres, ce roman en forme d'arrêt sur image édicte la sidération du signe face à la langue impitoyablement étrangère que, depuis les origines, profère la matière qui donne forme à l'univers.
