Underworld
by Don DeLillo
4.5 stars
This is a great American novel. It spans from the early 1950s to late 90's, with deeply drawn characters. Subjects and themes include war, sex, death, childhood, the path of a historic baseball, birth, trash, murder, religion, chess, education, fame, wealth, power, art, secrets, and betrayal. Characters are from families we might find in any common neighborhood to major cultural players like Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Lenny Bruce, JFK, and Jayne Mansfield.
Underworld asks a lot from the reader but every hour you spend with the book is a gift.
