内容説明
The last day of the life of Eric Packer, a multi-billionaire who owns amongst others a sixty four room apartment and who has recently married one of the richest women in America. He drives around New York at a snail's pace as the city is at a standstill because the President is in town and there is a funeral of a rapper proceeding across town. On top of this is the incipient threat of riots breaking out as anti-globalisation groups get more and more heated.Packer's bodyguards are worried that he is a target and he becomes one -- but not from the rioters, from an ex-employee who wants to make his life worth something.A mesmeric tour de force of character, stylistic brilliance, intelligence and wit.
