A finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Story Prize, the first ever collection of âdazzlingly toldâ (The New York Times) short storiesânow available as a trade paperback. Set in Greece, the Caribbean, Manhattan, a white-collar prison and outer space, this âsmall masterpiece of short fictionâ (USA Today) is a mesmerizing introduction to Don DeLilloâs iconic voice. In âCreation,â a couple at the end of a cruise somewhere in the West Indies canât get off the islandâflights canceled, unconfirmed reservations, a dysfunctional economy. In âHuman Moments in World War III,â two men orbiting the earth, charged with gathering intelligence and reporting to Colorado Command, hear the voices of American radio, from a half century earlier. In the title story, Sisters Edgar and Grace, nuns working the violent streets of the South Bronx, confirm the neighborhoodâs miracle, the apparition of a dead child, Esmeralda. Nuns, astronauts, athletes, terrorists and travelers, the characters in The Angel Esmeralda propel themselves into the world and define it. These nine stories describe an extraordinary journey of one great writer whose prescience about world events and ear for American language changed the literary landscape.
