FallingMan, Don DeLillo's magnificent, haunting növel about September 11, begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and tracks the aftermath of this global tremor in the altered lives of a few New Yorkers.

In the weeks and months after that day, Lianne probes Keith's moods, tries to reconcile two versions of her shadowy husband. Justin turns furtive, speaks in mono-syllables and stands at the window, scanning the sky for more planes. These are lives choreographed by loss and grief, emotional landscapes reconfigured by the enormous force of history.
