Title: A masterful, sweeping panorama of postwar American life
Review: DeLillo's work is one of immense size and scope, and he does not disappoint. From broad panoramas and massed scenes (sporting crowds or countless B52's lined up in the desert) to passages of exquisite detail, focus and intimacy, Underworld does not allow detail to get lost in the broader canvas, nor is the wider picture lost in trivial detail. It is fitting that DeLillo confronts our consumer age with a book about waste: garbage, nuclear destruction, depravity. And yet, for so potentially bleak a subject matter, Underworld is intensely funny: humour, irony and satire all have their place in DeLillo's epic journey through postwar America. People seeking a nice, conventional linear narrative, or a single authorial voice will not find it here: DeLillo's underworld is a challenging book for those who want to be challenged: read it, and you will not be disappointed.
