En las ruinas del futuro

Written with a force and urgency that remains intact twenty years later, this text contains a brief and intense reflection on the attack that occurred on September 11 against the Twin Towers that is extraordinarily vivid and at times chilling. In this text DeLillo combines the emotionality of the events with the description of the victims' pain. An invaluable document on one of the most terrible episodes in recent history that is, at the same time, a piece of extraordinary literary value that, with courage and delicacy, analyzes the attack as a symptom of a religious, technological, moral and economic disease: the war between the past and the future.
