Don DeLillo's 1997 masterwork Underworld, one of the most acclaimed and long-awaited novels of the last twenty years, was immediately recognized as a landmark novel, not only in the long career of one of America's most distinguished novelists but also in the ongoing evolution of the postmodern novel. This collection of thirteen essays brings together new and established voices in American studies and contemporary American literature to assess the place of this remarkable novel not only within the postmodern tradition but within the larger patterns of American literature and culture as well.

Underworld critique,
By T. Kepler (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underwords: Perspectives on Don Delillo's Underworld (Hardcover)
Collection of mostly academic essays exploring DeLillo's 1997 work, Underworld.
Other works referred to: Gravity's Rainbow, by T. Pynchon; American Pastoral, by P. Roth; The Tunnel, by W. Gass. Literature departments must been been impressed with this novel given this compilation only 5 years after it was published. I agree the novel deserves a critical review, especially an overall positive one.
