A benchmark of twentieth-century fiction, Underworld is stunningly beautiful in its generous humanity." --Greg Burkman, The Seattle Times "It's hard to imagine a way people might better understand American life in the second half of the twentieth century and beginning of the twenty-first than by reading Don DeLillo. The scale of his inquiry is global and historic. His work is astounding, made of stealthy blessings. it proves to my generation of writers that fiction can still do anything it wants.
