Work Description
Nick Shay and Kiara Sax knew each other once, intimately and they meet again in the Sahara desert. He is trying to outdistance the crucial events of his early life, she is an artist who has made a blood struggle for independence. Underworld is a story of men and women together and apart, seen in deep clear detail and in stadium sized panoramas, shadowed throughout by the overarching conflict of The Cold War. It is a novel that accepts every challenge of these extraordinary -- Don DeLillos's greatest and most powerful work of fiction. -Back Cover
