Breathtaking
Don Delillo's novel is a marvel of historical fiction. He succeeds in taking a banal and mediocre personality -- Lee H. Oswald's -- and lends it a depth that approaches gravitas. Above this, however, Delillo's greatest achievement in this novel is capturing perfectly the absolutely ungrammatical way people -- even educated people -- actually speak. We do not, after all, speak in complete sentences. Or, rather, we seldom do. We speak in fragments and solecisms. I give this book my highest recommendation. It's the best thing I've read in years.
