A Novel.

'The Body Artist' opens with a breakfast scene in a rambling rented house somewhere on the New England coast. We meet Lauren Hardke, the Body Artist of the title, and her husband Rey Robles, a much older, thrice-married director. Through their delicate, intimate, half-complete thoughts and words DeLillo proves himself a stunning unsentimental observer of marriage, and of the idiosyncrasies that both isolate and bind us.

Rey says he's taking a drive, and he does, all the way to the Manhattan apartment of his first wife. Lauren is left alone, or so she thinks. She is to discover, however, that there is a stranger in the house. An eerily gifted individual who often speaks in Rey's voice, or in her own, who seems to know both intimate moments of their past life and things that haven't happened yet.

A lean, sad, beautiful novel, 'The Body Artist' is a meditation on love, time and human perception from one of the great masters of modern storytelling.
