Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Friday, November 22, 1963. 12:30 p.m. The bullets ring out. A president dies. And a nation plunges into a psychotic state. The exceptional Libra by Don DeLillo is a brilliant re-examination of the events and people surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Focusing on the lives of Lee Harvey Oswald, some former secret agents concerned with Kennedy's presidency, and Nicholas Branch, a CIA archivist trying to understand or draw conclusions from the mass of information after the assassination, Libra offers an unexpectedly provocative view of America in the latter half of the last century.
