This author is incredibly talented. Don Delillo is able to build a story from a multitude of perspectives, and feeds back in and revisits how a narrative is built.
Its a beautiful experiment and fight over how we define our past and our experiences and how we define ourselves today.
He not only pulls you in with compelling individual characters, but he manages to quickly confront you with the fact that these people are a part of a pulsing entity - a life in itself - at a much larger level.
This book is tough at points - with long, descriptive moments and often abstract definitions. But I can assure you it pays off. Its eloquent in a way I could never imagine and so relatable to this day.
Worth the intention to read although it did take me two months. This book is not about baseball!
