The Body Artist
by Don Delillo
Review this book!
After her husband's devastating suicide, a performance artist named Lauren Hartke becomes obsessed with her vacation house, which seems to be haunted. Delillo's 124-page novella--much shorter than his usual weighty novels--is enigmatic and slightly mysterious, exploring the resolutely closed and inner world of a woman who is trying to survive. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

Publisher Notes
A twelfth novel by the author of Underworld places readers in the world of artist Lauren Hartke, who meets near her rented coastal house a strange, ageless man with an uncanny knowledge of Lauren's life.
Media Reviews
"[A] dark, elliptical tone poem....What remains most interesting about this modest, imperfect novel is its fascination with the emotional life of its heroine--a focus on the personal that extends the sympathetic attention to character first evinced in UNDERWORLD, and points, in the future perhaps, to an exciting new vein in Mr. DeLillo's already remarkable body of work."
