I think Delillo has a gift in the perspectives he brings to his writing. His secret is reaching
within and touching our secrets.
We all can identify with situations of " dysfunctional moments " in our own lives. I enjoyed
the scenes where Jack was trying to learn German. Hilarious.
Truthfully, this book was hard for me to read and keep my concentration but worth the effort.
Well written.

responsible for nostalgia than a bad memory."---Robert Benchley.
