Summary
During a season of unprecedented success, Gary becomes increasingly fixated on the threat of nuclear war. Both frightened and fascinated by the prospect, he listens to his team-mates discussing match tactics in much the same terms as generals might contemplate global conflict. But as the terminologies of football and nuclear war - the language of end zones - become interchanged, the polysemous nature of words emerges, and DeLillo forces us to see beyond the sterile reality of substitution.This clever and playful novel is a timeless and topical study of human beings’ obsession with conflict and confrontation.

Critics Review
America’s greatest living writer.
America’s greatest living writer. * Observer *
Nobody, it seems, could write better than this. No one could have a clearer vision of the micro-circuitry of post-modern life. * Evening Standard *
Powerfully funny, oblique, testy, and playful, tearing along in dazzling cinematic spurts … A masterful novel. * Washington Post *
