A Novel.
First published in 1972, 'End Zone' has never been more relevant, offering a timely and topical look at America's apparent enthusiasm for conflict and confrontation.
Gary Harkness is a football player and student at Logos College, West Texas. During a season of unprecedented success on the football field, he becomes increasingly obsessed with 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 military generals might contemplate global conflict.
A clever, playful and, above all, funny novel, 'End Zone' confirms DeLillo's status as one of the great American writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and reaffirms the unerring, incisive accuracy of his portrayal of the modern world.
