Set against the backdrop of a lush and exotic Greece, The Names is considered the book which began to drive sharply upward the size of his readership (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Among the cast of DeLillos bizarre yet fully realized characters in The Names are Kathryn, the narrators estranged wife their son, the six-year-old novelist Owen, the scientist and the neurotic narrator obsessed with his own neuroses. A thriller, a mystery, and still a moving examination of family, loss, and the amorphous and magical potential of language itself, The Names stands with any of DeLillos more recent and highly acclaimed works. The Names not only accurately reflects a portion of our contemporary world but, more importantly, an original world of its own is created.--Chicago Sun-TimesDeLillo sifts experience through simultaneous grids of science and poetry, analysis and clear sight, to make a high-wire prose that is voluptuously stark.--Village Voice Literary SupplementDeLillo verbally examines every state of consciousness from eroticism to tourism, from the idea of America as conceived by the rest of the world, to the idea of the rest of the world as conceived by America, from mysticism to fanaticism.--New York Times
