Underworld by Don Delillo

Opens at the Shea Stadium at the World Series Game of 1951, where the ball is caught by a young, black man in the crowd, and continues to change hands throughout the book. The various recipients of the ball tell the story of post-war US history giving a panorama of America from the 50s to the 90s.

Simultaneously a reprise, summation of, and advance on everything that DeLillo has done before, this is a literary colossus, equal to any of the vaulting novels which strive for the immensity of the American mythic.
