080 - Libra by Don DeLillo (Part II)

We continue the second iteration of the Heat Death of the Universe Book Club with the second of two discussions of Don DeLillo's 1988 landmark novel, Libra. Just exactly how unwitting was Oswald? Did you think that a hashish-fueled threesome would be part of the novel? Bullets are magic now? So Jackie O was doing what when she crawled onto the flat rear trunk of the limousine? Did Jack Ruby create a Twilight Zone-style end to Oswald's life?
