Underworld by Don DeLillo

Underworld is DeLillo’s panoramic vision of the United States in his time. The novel is obsessed with waste and garbage, with the bomb and the Cold War, and with the vast areas of the American imagination which have been filled with images of fear and destruction. Beside this is presented a relaxed version of ordinary life and the result is a monument to the power of the novel.
Don DeLillo was born in New York.
