Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award, Mao II is the work of an
ingenious writer at the height of his powers. Bill Gray, a famous,
reclusive novelist, emerges from his isolation when he becomes the
key figure in an event staged to force the release of a poet
hostage in Beirut. As Bill enters the world of political violence,
a nightscape of Semtex explosives and hostages locked in basement
rooms, Bill's dangerous passage leaves two people stranded: his
brilliant, fixated assistant, Scott, and the strange young woman
who is Scott's lover – and Bill's. An extraordinary novel from
Don DeLillo about words and images, novelists and terrorists, the
mass mind and the arch-individualist, Mao II explores a world in
which the novelist's power to influence the inner life of a culture
now belongs to bomb-makers and gunmen. Part of the Picador
Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
