"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. "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".
