DeLillo's best selling novel and widely considered his masterpiece, Underworld was a finalist for the 1997 National Book Award and the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The storyline traces the interconnected lines of Americans over nearly five decades, beginning during the Cold War. Opening with the legendary 1951 National League pennant game between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers, the novel follows the journey of the game's celebrated baseball as it passes through the hands of collectors, fans, and ordinary people, becoming a symbol of memory, history, and the nation's evolving identity. The dust jacket design features a photograph of the World Trade Center towers taken by André Kertész.
