![]() Meanwhile, George William settles into a happy family life. A civil agreement is drawn up and George William signs extra documents stating that any children he has will not rival his brother’s, Ernest Augustus, for the lands and titles. ![]() As life would have it, during George William’s travels he discovers the one woman he would settle down with, and she won’t have him any other way than through a respectable ceremony. ![]() When it falls on the one brother least eager for the responsibilities, Duke George William, he passes it on to a younger brother with a few concessions - the main one that he continues his bachelor life and never marries, as there can be no rivals to the brother who takes on the family affairs. ![]() This story begins with a family of brothers, of whom one will inherit the family titles and fortune: Hanover, Celle and Osnabruck. ![]() ![]() ![]() DeLillo’s haunting new novel, “Zero K” - his most persuasive since his astonishing 1997 masterpiece, “ Underworld” - is a kind of bookend to “White Noise” (1985): somber and coolly futuristic, where that earlier book was satirical and darkly comic. It is like a contract that all must sign, the plotters as well as those who are the targets of the plot.” Political plots, terrorist plots, lovers’ plots, narrative plots, plots that are part of children’s games. “All plots tend to move deathward,” the narrator of “White Noise” says. Death stalks Don DeLillo’s characters - be it in the form of terrorism, the atomic bomb, assassination, suicide, war, earthquakes, murderous cults or “an airborne toxic event” passing over the landscape “like some death ship in a Norse legend.” To try to stave off their fear of death, his people compulsively reach for belief systems, drugs, hobbies, organizing principles (from football to mathematical equations to stories), housekeeping rituals - anything that might hold the inevitable fact of mortality at bay. ![]() |
