Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo (Hardcover)

Title: Cosmopolis Author: Don DeLillo Format: Hardcover Genre: Literary Fiction Condition: Used - Acceptable Description: The booming times of market optimism—when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments—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 idol's funeral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors—experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners—as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future.
