Falling Man is a magnificent, essential novel about the event that defines turn-of-the-century America. It begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and tracks the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people.

There is September 11 and then there are the days after—and the years.

Falling Man is a magnificent, essential novel about the event that defines turn-of-the-century America. It begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and tracks the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people. First there is Keith, walking out of the rubble into a life that he’d always imagined belonged to everyone but him. Then Lianne, his estranged wife, memory-haunted, trying to reconcile two versions of the same shadowy man. And their small son Justin, standing at the window, scanning the sky for more planes. These are lives choreographed by loss, grief, and the enormous force of history.

Brave and brilliant, Falling Man traces the way the events of September 11 have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory, and our perception of the world. It is cathartic, beautiful, and heartbreaking.©2007 Don DeLillo. All rights reserved; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster, Inc. All rights reserved. Classics Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction

This is one of my favorite books and I had a feeling it would be a good auduobook, especially with Roger Sterling reading it! Such a pleasurable experience. Slattery seems to get DeLillo's style and vibe. This author's books are well suited to this format in general, but the reader here just amps it up a level.
