Underworld is a "dazzling and prescient novelA decade after 9/11, it’s worth rereading Don DeLillo’s 1997 masterpiece to appreciate how uncannily the author not only captured the surreal weirdness of life in the second half of the 20th century but also anticipated America’s lurch into the terror and exigencies of the new millennium...A breathtaking set piecethe prologue is a bravura display of Mr. DeLillo's literary powers" (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times).
