Falling Man [2007] - Don DeLillo

"It was not a street anymore but a world, a time and space of falling ash and near night."

"Today 9/11 carries so many burdens—of interpretation, of sentimentality, of politics, of war—that sometimes it's hard to find the rubble of the actual event beneath the layers of edifice we've built on top of it . . . [DeLillo] resurrects the world as it was, bottling the mortal dread, high anxiety and mass confusion that seem so distant now."
