'A literary colossus' - The Sunday Telegraph
'A dazzling, phosphorescent work of art' - The New York Times
Don DeLillo's powerful epic, spanning fifty years of American history.
Underworld opens - famously - at the Dodgers-Giants 1951 National League final, where Bobby Thomson hits The Shot Heard Round the World and wins the pennant race for the Giants. But on the other side of the planet, another highly significant shot was fired: the USSR's first atomic detonation. And so begins a masterpiece of storytelling.
Don DeLillo loosely follows the fate of the winning baseball team as the book swells and rolls through time. He offers a panoramic vision of America, defined by the overarching conflict of the Cold War.
This is an awe-inspiring story, seen in deep, clear detail, of men and women, together and apart, as they search for meaning, survival and connection in the toughest of times.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
