Amadeo It's definitely a worthwhile plunge. I recommend following it up Roberto Bolano's "The Savage Detectives". Another long book, but both came out around the same time, are by authors from different countries, yet are structured nearly identical but inversely. DeLillo takes us from 92 back to the 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, then back again to 92. Bolano goes from 1975 up to 1996 and back to 1975. Neither is quite so linear, but one goes backward to forward and the other forward to backward. Both are amazing.
