Summary: Book-of-the-Month Club Selection. "You'll scarcely be able to draw a breath throughout its lucid, overpowering climactic pages." - Kirkus Reviews, starred. "Brilliant... This novel is a return to DeLillo's best work." - Publishers Weekly, starred. 'There have been a number of novels written in the past years about 9/11... None of them are like this one." - Booklist, starred. 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 11th reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory, and our perception of the world. It is beautiful, heartbreaking, and ultimately, redemptive.
