Falling Man - Softcover

"'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.
