"DeLillo understands the capacity of words to establish a distance from things and a mastery over them' Houston Chronicle 'One of America's smartest and most disturbing writers" The Times

 

"DeLillo shapes a rhetoric for our age" Observer

 

 

"Falling Man" begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and follows the aftermath in the intimate lives of a few individuals. This is the inner seam of history, a novel that traces the way the events of September 11 reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory, and our perception of the world. It is beautiful, heartbreaking and, ultimately, redemptive.

Don DeLillo is the author of fifteen novels, including Falling Man, Libra and White Noise, and three plays. He has won the National Book Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Jerusalem Prize. In 2006, Underworld was named one of the three best novels of the last twenty-five years by The New York Times Book Review, and in 2000 it won the William Dean Howells Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters for the most distinguished work of fiction of the past five years.
