Falling Man

Informationen zum Autor Don DeLillo is the acclaimed author of fourteen novels and two plays. He has won the National Book Award, the Jerusalem Prize and the Irish Times International Fiction Prize. Vorwort A magnificent, essential work of fiction about the event that defines turn-of-the-twenty-first-century America, from the award-winning author of White Noise , Libra and Underworld Zusammenfassung There is September 11 and then there are the days after, and finally the years. Falling Man begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and traces the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people. First there is Keith, walking out of the rubble into a life that he’d always imagined belonged to everyone but him. Then Lianne, his estranged wife, memory-haunted, trying to reconcile two versions of the same shadowy man. And their small son Justin, standing at the window, scanning the sky for more planes. These are lives choreographed by loss, grief and the enormous force of history. Brave and brilliant, Falling Man traces the way the events of September 11 have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world. It is beautiful, heartbreaking, cathartic.
