Players by Don DelilloDeLillo, Don. Players. New York: Knopf. 1977. First edition hardcover, fine book, dust jacket same in mylar sleeve. Did Don DeLillo predict 9 11? Not exactly. But in Players, as in his later work, DeLillo's fixations (the World Trade Center, terrorism, crowds, and a literal airborne toxic event) have proven eerily prescient to events in real life following the publication date of his novels. 212 pp.
