Underworld opens – famously – at the Dodgers-Giants 1951
National League final, where Bobby Thomson hits The Shot Heard
Round the World and wins the pennant race for the Giants. But on
the other side of the planet, another highly significant shot was
fired: the USSR's first atomic detonation. And so begins a
masterpiece of gloriously symphonic storytelling. Don DeLillo
loosely follows the fate of the winning baseball as the book swells
and rolls through time. He offers a panoramic vision of America,
defined by the overarching conflict of the cold war. This is an
awe-inspiring story, seen in deep, clear detail, of men and women,
together and apart, as they search for meaning, survival and
connection in the toughest of times. Part of the Picador
Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
