The Angel Esmeralda: Nine Stories by Don DeLillo

3.0

This is a remarkable volume, chronicling DeLillo's career ('79 to '11) in the unique medium of the short story. I enjoyed the earlier pieces more for their lyrically free and almost improvisational rhythms. The title story "The Angel Esmeralda", marks a clear shift in his style, where he moves to heavier tones and darker themes. A great journey to take with this author.
