en-wikipedia-org-7342		Underworld (novel) - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2306	198	72	In 2006, a survey of eminent authors and critics conducted by The New York Times named Underworld as the runner-up for the best work of American fiction of the past 25 years, behind only Toni Morrison's Beloved.[2] Following the publication of the well-regarded novels White Noise (1985), Libra (1988), and Mao II (1991), DeLillo made few public appearances and published little for several years while writing Underworld, besides the folio short story Pafko at the Wall which was incorporated into the prologue of Underworld with minor changes. Other critics, however, praised DeLillo's prose but found the novel overlong and argued it could have benefited from more editing.[5][7] On Salon.com, Laura Miller wrote that "Nick's secret, the one that supposedly provides the book's suspense, proves anticlimactic."[8] In May 2006, The New York Times Book Review named Underworld as a runner up for the best work of American fiction of the previous 25 years.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7342.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7342.txt
