Don DeLillo's collection gathers nine stories from across his career, written between 1979 and 2011. They range widely, from a story of two nuns in the Bronx, in which a child's death is followed by a possible miracle, to pieces about modern strangeness, art and fear of terror. The stories show his sparse, rhythmic prose and his interest in language and the ways that people experience unease.
It suits readers who like DeLillo's novels and want a compact introduction to his work. You get a handful of short, precise stories.
Open-ended and thought-provoking; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Deep Diver. Which reader are you?
