The Body Artist begins with normality: breakfast between a married
couple, Lauren and Rey, in their ramshackle rented house on the New
England coast. Recording their delicate, intimate, half-complete
thoughts and words, Don DeLillo proves himself a stunningly
unsentimental observer of our idiosyncratic relationships. But
after breakfast, Rey makes a decision that leaves Lauren utterly
alone, or seems to. As Lauren, the body artist of the title,
becomes strangely detached from herself and the temporal world, the
novel becomes an exploration of a highly abnormal grieving process;
a fascinating expose of 'who we are when we are not rehearsing who
we are'; and a rarefied study of trauma and creativity, absence and
presence, isolation and communion.
