Underworld

The last great American novel of the 20th century, a world bestseller and recognized masterpiece of a living classic by Don DeLillo. A peculiar summary of the day and the author's version of the history of the United States of the 1950s-1990s.

In the pages of this genuinely all-encompassing epic, you'll meet the black Cotter family, garbage disposal manager Nick Shay, artist Clara Sachs, Catholic Sister Edgar, graffiti artist Ismael Munez ("Moonlighter"), stand-up comedian Lenny Bruce, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and many others. Each of them has their own problems and dreams. Their stories, intricately intertwined around the journeys of a baseball, create an extraordinary world that functions according to its own laws.

A brilliant novel about garbage, nuclear weapons, sports, art, and politics.
