DOIAbstract
The apparent complexity of Libra may be attributed to the fact that it is made up of overlapping stones : the conspiracy against Kennedy, Oswald's erratic life, the attempt to write the history of the assassination... As it emerges from the chaos of facts, the fiction imposes a pattern which barely hides its analogy with all the "theories that gleam like jade idols ". Such flaunting of artifice is meant to negate the very possibility of writing historical truth.Happe François. La conspiration du hasard : histoire et fiction dans Libra de Don DeLillo.
