Praise for Libra Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction "[DeLillo's] richest novel . . . It's in commonplace moments that [he] reveals his genius . . . a triumph."
–Anne Tyler, The New York Times "Much of DeLillo's earlier fiction now seems a brilliant prelude to [this novel]
. . .
Libra displays his genius for creative paranoia: he fills the gaps in the record with his imagination, spinning a brilliant web out of a heap of improbable coincidences."
–London Review of Books "[
Libra] is like a stop-motion frame of the crossfire, a still picture of an awful moment . . . DeLillo's prose has a quality of demented lyricism."
–The New Yorker "Extraordinary intensity . . . unforgiving thoroughness . . . DeLillo has created a thriller of the most profound sort . . .
Libra is electrifying, a book alive with suggestion."
–Chicago Tribune"Libra operates at a dizzyingly high level of intensity throughout; it's that true fictional rarity–a novel of admirable depth and relevance that's also a terrific page-turner."
