As Bill enters the world of political violence, a nightscape of Semtex explosives and hostages locked in basement rooms, Bill's dangerous passage leaves two people stranded: his brilliant, fixated assistant, Scott, and the strange young woman who is Scott's lover – and Bill's. An extraordinary novel from Don DeLillo about words and images, novelists and terrorists, the mass mind and the arch-individualist, \u003ci\u003eMao II\u003c\/i\u003e explores a world in which the novelist's power to influence the inner life of a culture now belongs to bomb-makers and gunmen.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45065868116126,"sku":"ADS-9781529092110","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529092110.jpg?v=1738730433","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529092110","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
