âe~Searing, profoundly unsettling. An unforgettable novelâe(tm) Sunday
Times Falling Man begins on September 11, in the smoke and ash of the
burning towers. In the days and the years following, we trace the aftermath
of this global tremor in the private lives of a few reticulated
individuals. Theirs are lives choreographed by loss, by grief and by the
enormous force of history. From these intimate portraits, DeLillo shifts to
an extrapolated vision: he charts the way the events have reconfigured our
emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world. This is an
unforgettable novel, at once cathartic and beautiful and heartbreaking.
âe~These are pages of magnificent force and control, DeLilloâe(tm)s genius
at full pelt. Reading them, you have to remind yourself to keep
breathingâe(tm) New Statesman
