Fallende Männer - Don DeLillo und 9/11

Amerika und die Welt warten auf den gültigen Roman über den 11.
September. Bisher vergeblich, obwohl sich etliche Schriftsteller daran
versuchten. Jetzt legt auch Groß-Autor Don DeLillo, Experte für
Bedrohung, Terror und Paranoia, ein Buch vor: "Falling Man"....

After Philip Roth, Thomas Pynchon, John Updike and Ian McEwan, now Don
DeLillo has brough out a 9/11 novel, and for a somewhat resigned
Wieland Freund, the question is not so much whether but how "Falling
Man" would disappoint. For Freund the book is bogged down in theses.
"As if to say 'Look, us too!' DeLillo drags a leftist terrorist onto
the stage, with the best intentions he has a certain Omar H. suffer
from Alzheimer's and the final emotive scene, when an abandoned
briefcase is passed from person to person in the stairwell of the
toppling tower, was undoubtedly written hand on heart. In moments like
this the novel disappoints, precisely because it is so determined not
to disappoint anyone."

Is that SUPPOSED to sound like Sein und Zeit (Heidegger)?  Hm ...
