Falling Man by Dom Delillo

"The noise was unbearable, alternating between the banging shattering sound and an electronic pulse of varied pitch."

I'm currently catching up on reviews of books that I've read this year. Reading about nine eleven around the turmoil of the bushfires was difficult. Writing about it mid Corona craziness seems even more difficult.

I get the feeling that the best antidote from a literary perspective is something far more escapist. That being said, there is something cathartic about this work and it is, of course, fantastically written.

This is an uncomfortable read that left me feeling that cold sensation that a horrific memory leaves behind. In these troubled times maybe it serves as a sign that tragedy and uncertainty can be overcome in time.

4 out of 5 - maybe leave this one for less troubled times.
