Don DeLillo's Falling Man is a modern classic. The greatest living American author writing a book about the seminal moment in modern American history.
The book itself is a story about how New Yorker's woke up on the twelfth of September 2001 and are forced to continue their lives.
I was especially blown away after recently seeing Extremely Loud, Incredible Close. A movie based on a novel about how a child who has Aspberger's deals with the death of his son.
That movie, unfortunately I haven't read the book, felt like a string of events meant to evoke an emotion in the viewer. Here DeLillo presents us with a couple recently separated and we watch as, from the rubble, they try to hang on to some semblance of normal.
The book I loved, I would recommend it, as a matter of fact, I would recommend anything Don DeLillo has written.
