Great Jones Street

<b>From the author of the National Book Award–winning <i>White Noise</i> comes a novel that “reflects our era’s nightmares and hallucinations with all appropriate lurid, tawdry shades” (<b><i>The Cleveland Plain Dealer</i>)</b></b><br><b><br>A thought-provoking exploration of the alluring yet hollow world of rock and roll stardom.</b><br><br>Bucky Wunderlick, rock star and budding messiah, has hit a spiritual wall. Unfulfilled by the excess of fame and fortune his revolutionary image has wrought, he bolds from his band mid-tour to hole up in a dingy East Village apartment, where he breaks away from his manufactured persona and separates himself from the toxic and superficial culture he has helped create.<br><br>As faithful fans await messages, Bucky encounters every sort of roiling farce he is trying to escape. Don DeLillo’s <i>Great Jones Street </i>is a penetrating look at rock and roll’s merger of art, commerce, and urban decay through a vivid portrait of a troubled rock star’s search for meaning beyond the glitz and glamor.
