A wide-ranging study of the post-1990 fiction of one of America's
most respected writers and cultural critics, this volume focuses on
three of Don DeLillo's most recent novelsGCoMao II, Underworld, and
Falling ManGCothat span pivotal moments in recent history: the end
of the Cold War, the millennium, and 9/11. Consisting of original
essays written by scholars whose interdisciplinary
approachesGCodrawn from art history and religious history, ethnic
studies and urban studies, popular culture and political
scienceGCoshed new light on DeLillo's work, it investigates
DeLillo's portrait of turn-of-the-century America as the nation
confronts the defining phenomena of globalism and terrorism. With
an eye always on the impact that shifts in historical sensibility
produce on aesthetic sensibility, the volume also considers the
role that DeLillo sees narrative playing in a world dominated by
digital images and provides the first extended analysis of how much
faith he has in fiction's ability to convey the trauma of September
11, an event commonly conceived as resistant to all forms of
artistic expression.
