Title: Grandiose self-absorption
Review: This is my first experience with author Don DeLillo, so I will review this book without comparison to previous works. I found the protagonist, Lauren Hartke, to be an introverted, egotistical, masochistic bore. The author depicted this complex, unhealthy character with precise attention to detail, extreme care, and emotionless observation.However, I found myself fascinated with the "little man", Mr. Tuttle. I wondered if he was an hallucination brought upon by the stress of grief in an unstable psyche. I never thought he was really flesh and blood, even while watching the erotic encounter in the bathtub. [Actually, the entire book has a voyeuristic quality.] Perhaps Tuttle was an alien being: "From a long way off what would he look like, walking the way he walked, narrowly, in curved space?" As short as it is, this is a ponderous work which offers the reader little insight or gratification, but a lot of curious unanswered questions.
