Falling Man

by Don DeLillo

A magnificent, essential work of fiction about the event that defines turn-of-the-21st century America, from the award-winning author of White Noise, Libra and Underworld
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 individuals. Theirs are lives choreographed by loss, grief and the enormous force of history.
