- Summary
- Collects nine short stories written between 1979 and 2011 that chronicle three decades of American life from the perspective of a range of characters, including a pair of nuns in the South Bronx and two astronauts orbiting the Earth.
- For the first time, DeLillo is presenting a collection of short stories. The nine stories written between 1979 and 2011 and collected here for the first time offer a virtuoso tour de force through the literary cosmos of this exceptional writer of DeLillo's unique oeuvre can be read. Often the stories are about individuals finding themselves in puzzling or frightening circumstances: a couple stranded on a Caribbean island by a tropical storm, confronted with unreliable flight information - and a woman traveling alone. Two men in a space capsule, looking down at a globe torn by storms and wars, listening to radio voices from a bygone era. Two street workers in the South Bronx attest to a miracle: the nocturnal appearance of a murdered child on a billboard - the angel Esmeralda.
