A 1950s teenage hood from New York is transformed by the Jesuits into a respectable man, managing hazardous waste. A portrait of the decade from the viewpoint of the garbage industry.

I'm a slow reader in general, and especially slow when I'm not enjoying a book. So, make it over 800 pages and it will take me a while to get through it. With multiple story lines (I'll be generous) and different time periods, this book takes some work to read. DeLillo's writing always impresses me, but the overall structure of the novel just didn't work for me.
