![]() ![]() ![]() In the ‘Author’s Note” DeLillo even makes mention of the fact that “because this book makes no claim to literal truth, because it is only itself, apart and complete, readers may find refuge here-a way of thinking about the assassination without being constrained by half-facts or overwhelmed by possibilities, by the tide of speculation that widens with the years” (DeLillo 455). DeLillo focuses less on the facts one would find in the Warren Commission report of the assassination, and more on the possibilities of Oswald as a literary character. The novel also follows the misdoings of disenchanted CIA agents, as well as a separate CIA agent who, years after the fact, is tasked with collecting all that he can on the assassination, with no end in sight. Libra by Don DeLillo was published in 1988 as a work of historical fiction that offers a glimpse into a supposed history of Lee Harvey Oswald from early childhood onward to the Kennedy Assassination. ![]()
