There is September 11 and then there are the days after, and
finally 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
es-tranged 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,
heartbreaking.
