In Don DeLillo's blackly comic novel, Gary Harkness, a football player and student at Logos College, becomes obsessed with the threat of nuclear war. Both frightened and fascinated, he listens to his team-mates discussing match tactics in much the same terms as generals might contemplate a global conflict. As the terminologies of football and nuclear war become interchanged, the polysemous nature of words emerges, forcing us to see beyond the sterile reality of substitution. This novel is a timeless and topical study of human beings' obsession with conflict and confrontation.
