Falling Man is the most well done 9/11 story, in my opinion, that I have read. Now that you mention it, I may have been comparing Let the Great World Spin to that as I read. Both authors were going after a similar emotional idea.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-64047994588786991622010-05-28T17:11:47.866-07:002010-05-28T17:11:47.866-07:00Have you read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close ...Have you read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foer? I thought it was fantastic. And Falling Man was very compelling as well - and I'm not a Delillo fan, so it surprised me.Bevulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149567712622402005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-83543171829293717002010-05-28T10:16:15.917-07:002010-05-28T10:16:15.917-07:00Oh yes.

I was surprised to learn it was a series of short stories, though that explains the chapter lengths. Maybe that's because I tend to be disjointed at times. I will finish it and then we can discuss. <br /><br />I like what I've read so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
