'Supple and sad and oddly compassionate too his most fully realised work in more than a
decade' Guardian Jeffrey Lockhart has been summoned to The Convergence: a remote and secret
compound where death is exquisitely cryogenically controlled. He is there to say goodbye to
his stepmother Artis who has chosen to surrender her dying body preserving it until a future
time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return her to a life of transcendent
promise. And his healthy father Ross might join her. Hypnotic and seductive Zero K is a
visionary novel about the legacies we leave the nobility of death and the ultimate worth of
'the mingled astonishments of our time here on earth.' 'Reminds us of Mr. DeLillo's almost
Day-Glo powers as a writer and his understanding of the strange contorted shapes that eternal
human concerns can take in the new millennium' New York Times
