In Don delillo has been written about anxiety and terrorism because both writers have mainly focused the theme of self identify their novel depicts on searching of their identity and a woman who returns to her hometown in Canada to find her missing father. Accompanied by her lover and another married couple, the unnamed protagonist meets her past in her childhood house, recalling events and feelings, while trying to find clues for her father's mysterious disappearance. Little by little, the past overtakes her and drives her into the realm of wildness and madness. In Surfacing, Margaret Atwood used Memoir and self discovery of most, but Even though these kinds of things are happened in the novel that is why Surfacing called as a colonial and post-colonial novel. But the same has happened in Don delillo’s Libra and Underworld
