Publisher's Synopsis
Like Running Dog, the magazine for which she writes, Moll Robbins was once Radical. Now she's just another hack looking for new angles on old stories. The oldest story of all is sex. And this time the angle is very special. Someone - pick from a big-time Senator, a porno art dealer and a Vietnam vet - wants only one thing: a small piece of celluloid, the home movie of Hitler's sexual exploits.
Another someone, possibly/probably from the same list, claims to have access to the unique piece of Naziana. A buyer and a seller: a free market where the currency is blackmail, torture and corruption. And where anyone looking for stories could wind up in the obituary columns . . .
'This is a romantic novel in the gritty, precisionist, enigmatic modern mode . . . a full pleasure to read' New Yorker
'Superbly energetic . . . slightly surreal, but grimly serious . . . Don DeLillo has proved himself a master of the menace in everyday situations' Washington Post Book World
