Cosmopolis

by Don DeLillo.

Filmed as Cosmopolis (2012), directed by David Cronenberg.

First published 2003.

ISBN-10: 0743244257
ISBN-13: 978-0743244251

Description:
"Cosmopolis is a concise Ulysses for the new century." – The San Diego Union-Tribune.

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism – when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments – are poised to crash. Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol’s funeral and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors – experts on security, technology, currency, finance and a few sexual partners – as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future.

Cosmopolis, Don DeLillo’s thirteenth novel, is both intimate and global, a vivid and moving account of the spectacular downfall of one man, and of an era.
