It was followed by  Libra (1988), his novel about the assassination of President Kennedy, and by Mao  II , which won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. In 1997, he published the  bestselling Underworld , and in 1999 he was awarded the Jerusalem Prize, given to a  writer whose work expresses the theme of the freedom of the individual in society;  he was the first American author to receive it.

“Libra operates at a dizzyingly high level of intensity throughout; it’s that true fictional rarity—a novel of admirable depth and relevance that’s also a terrific page-turner.” - USA Today

“DeLillo has created a thriller of the most profound sort ... Libra is electrifying, a book alive with suggestion.” - Chicago Tribune
