Title : The Falling Man - Don Delillo - Book
Summary :
On the morning of September 11, 2001, in Keith's hand, masked in ashes, riddled with shards of glass and back from the dead in his ex-wife Lianne's apartment, lies a briefcase that doesn't belong to him and that his survivor's hand grips, mechanically, with all his strength. While Keith moves closer and further away from another woman he met in the hell of the towers, before deciding to end his life sitting at a gaming table in the Las Vegas desert, Lianne drifts between the worry caused by her own son's fierce and reticent attitude, the writing workshop for Alzheimer's patients she is responsible for, the Falling Man, the performer the police are hunting, the health of her mother who has been living for years an incomprehensible affair with a mysterious European, an art dealer always between two planes, between two worlds...
Confronting, with only the weapons of his art, a world in pieces whose representation was lost with the attacks of September 11, Don DeLillo reveals the broken springs of the beautiful human machine - psyche, language and powerless body combined. A journey to the heart of the DNA of our common history, a masterful exploration of the effects and causes of a catastrophe, this novel paves the way to a catharsis that allows us to face Evil in all its inevitable and dazzling advents.
