The Silence by Don DeLillo

Here’s what  about : “DeLillo () applies his mastery of dialogue to a spare, contemplative story of a group, which lead to alternately profound and tepid discussions of the shutdown, the cause of which remains unexplained even after Tessa and Jim report to the group on surviving their crash landing and a ride through eerie, dark city streets. In the end, readers gain the timely insight that some were born ready for disaster while others remain unequipped. While the work stands out among DeLillo’s short fiction, it feels underpowered when compared to his novels.” [ Read our own and .]
