Eric Packer is a twenty-eight-year-old multi-billionaire asset
manager. We join him on what will become a particularly eventful
April day in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Manhattan. He's on a
personal odyssey, to get a haircut. Sitting in his stretch
limousine as it moves across town, he finds the city at a virtual
standstill because the President is visiting, a rapper's funeral is
proceeding, and a violent protest is being staged in Times Square
by anti-globalist groups. Most worryingly, Eric's bodyguards are
concerned that he may be a target . . . An electrifying study in
affectlessness, infused with deep cynicism and measured detachment;
a harsh indictment of the life-denying tendencies of capitalism; as
brutal a dissection of the American dream as Wolfe's Bonfire or
Ellis's Psycho, Don DeLillo's Cosmopolis is a caustic prophecy all
too quickly realized.
