Description
Underworld by Don DeLillo is a powerful epic that spans fifty years of American history. The story begins with the iconic 1951 National League final, where Bobby Thomson hits The Shot Heard Round the World and wins the pennant race for the Giants. This pivotal moment sets in motion a sweeping narrative that follows the fate of the winning baseball as it rolls through time. As the book unfolds, DeLillo offers a panoramic vision of America, defined by the overarching conflict of the Cold War. He explores the lives of men and women, together and apart, as they search for meaning, survival, and connection in the toughest of times. This is an awe-inspiring story, seen in deep, clear detail. Part of the Picador Collection, Underworld is a masterpiece of symphonic storytelling that will appeal to readers who enjoy complex, thought-provoking fiction.
