Cosmopolis: A Novel

Now a major motion picture directed by David Cronenberg and starring Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis is the thirteenth novel by one of Americaâ€™s most celebrated writers.

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimismâ€”when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governmentsâ€” are poised to crash. Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idolâ€™s funeral and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitorsâ€”experts on security, technology, currency, finance and a few sexual partnersâ€”as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future.

Cosmopolis, Don DeLilloâ€™s thirteenth novel, is both intimate and global, a vivid and moving account of the spectacular downfall of one man, and of an era.
