About “The Body Artist”
The Body Artist is a 2001 novella by Don DeLillo. It follows Lauren Hartke, a young performance artist, as she deals with the suicide of her much older husband. The story centers on her emotional journey through grief. A mysterious figure appears in an upstairs room of her home, adding an eerie element to the narrative.
