Summary:

‘A whimsical, surrealistic excursion in to the modern scientific brain.’ -The New Yorker

‘His most spectacularly inventive book.’ -The New York Times

One of DeLillo’s first books, Ratner’s Star follows Billy, the genius adolescent, who’s recruited to reside in obscurity, underground, while he tries to greatly help a panel of estranged, demented, yet lovable researchers talk to beings from outer space. It is a mix of quirky laughter, science, mathematical theories, aswell as the complicated emotional range and sadness people feel. Ratner’s Star shows both thematic and prosaic muscularity that typifies DeLillo’s later on and more recent works.
