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. Part of the Picador Collection, a
series showcasing the best of modern literature.
