 | Underworld by Don DeLillo, Michael Prichard In order to dramatize the theme that all people and events in the universe are connected, DeLillo presents several narrators and a series of chronologically dislocated events. Additionally, history and facts scattered throughout the novel connect the reader to DeLillo's fictional world. After the reader discovers how these disjointed experiences and characters are related, the message of the novel becomes clear. The novel is set in the world of American baseball from the 1950s to the early 1990's. In its famous 1951 opening scene, the Giants win a crucial game against the Dodgers thanks to Bobby Thompson's home run, at the same moment that the Russians successfully test the A-bomb, an event that signals the real beginning of the Cold War. Baseball and international politics drive the narrative, which centers on ex-ballplayer Nick Shay and an artist named Klara Sax, the woman he once loved.
