Bestselling author

A thriller, a mystery, and still a moving examination of family, loss and the amorphous and magical potential of language itself.

Set mostly in Greece, it concerns a mysterious 'language cult' seemingly behind a number of unexplained murders. Obsessed by news of this ritualistic violence, an American risk analyst is drawn to search for an explanation. We follow his progress on an obsessive journey that begins to take over his life and the lives of those closest to him. In addition to offering a series of precise character studies, The Names explores the intersection of language and culture, the perception of America from both inside and outside its borders, and the impact that narration has on the facts of a story. Meditative and probing, DeLillo wonders: how does one cope with the fact that the act of articulation is simultaneously capable of defining and circumscriptively restricting access to the self?

'Compelling ... strange and wonderful and frightening.'
The New Yorker

'A serious and complicated novel which deserves praise ... outstandingly well-written and constructed.'
The Guardian
