Description:
The Body Artist by Don DeLillo is a short novel that goes inside the mind of a woman artist. She is grieving the death of her husband when a stranger enters her life (not what you think). The book is described as sparse and precise, filled with unanswered questions and ambiguities, beautiful and profoundly moving.
