Falling Man begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and traces the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few individuals. Theirs are lives choreographed by loss, grief and the enormous force of history. `These are pages of magnificent force and control, DeLillo’s genius at full pelt. Reading them, you have to remind yourself to keep breathing’ New Statesman `Searing, profoundly unsettling. An unforgettable novel’ Sunday Times `A revelatory piece of writing that will stand as a testament to DeLillo’s genius’ Times Literary Supplement `As fine a thing as DeLillo has ever made.

This is a tremendous novel by a genuine master’ Irish Independent
