«Outremonde» is the novel by Don DeLillo published by Actes Sud in paperback (893 pages, in French).
The novel spans half a century of American history, from the postwar period to the end of the twentieth century, through the impact of the Cold War and the atomic bomb on ordinary lives. It interweaves multiple narrative threads in which historical and fictional characters cross paths, from a legendary baseball game in New York in 1951 to an epilogue in Central Asia, forming a great polyphony about the dark side of contemporary America.
French edition from the Babel collection, published in March 2003. Translated from English by Marianne Véron with the collaboration of Isabelle Reinharez. Original work published in 1997 under the title «Underworld».
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in great American literature and a critical view of the recent history of the United States.
