From the publisher -

Winner of the National Book Award in 1985, Don DeLillo's postmodern masterpiece is about Jack and Babette, a middle America couple with children from previous marriages. After a deadly toxic accident and Babette's addiction to an experimental drug, Jack is forced to question everything about his life.


It's a funny book, if you like black humor. It's satire at its sharpest, and sometimes a tad hard to follow, but rewarding.
