A brilliant billionaire asset manager, en route via white stretch limo to the local haircutter, finds his trip interrupted by a presidential motorcade, music idol's funeral, movie set, and violent political demonstration, and receives a number of important visitors in the fields of security, technology, currency, finance, and theory.

"[B]leakly funny....DeLillo assembles these quirky particulars expertly--and he still writes better sentences than any other contemporary author. The tale is ingenious and amusing, and there's a chilling logic to its eloquent climax...."

Kirkus, 01/01/2003

"[F]or all the comic and ironic bite DeLillo gets out of skewering New Economy wackiness, he's really dealing with bigger and tougher issues. As Packer's limo fights its way across Manhattan, COSMOPOLIS steers deeper and deeper into both myth and current events. [The novel] strips away any pretense of insulated comfort and replaces it with a curious and heady sense."
