A troubling satire of the romantic myth of stardom and the empty heart of rock and roll.
Bucky Wunderlick is a rock and roll star. Dissatisfied with a life that has brought fame and fortune, he suddenly decides he no longer wants to be a commodity.
He leaves his band mid-tour and holes up in a dingy, unfurnished apartment in Great Jones Street. Unfortunately, his disappearing act only succeeds in inflaming interest . . .
Great Jones Street, Don DeLillo's third novel, probes the rights of the individual, foreshadows the struggle of the artist within a capitalist world, and delivers a scathing portrait of our culture's obsession with the lives of the few.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
