During an uncharacteristic winning season, the perplexed and distracted running back Gary Harkness has periodic fits of nuclear glee; he is fueled and shielded by his fear of and fascination with nuclear conflict. Among oddly afflicted and recognizable players, the terminologies of football and nuclear war—the language of end zones—become interchangeable, and their meaning deteriorates as the collegiate year runs its course. In this triumphantly funny, deeply searching novel, Don DeLillo explores the metaphor of football as war with rich, original zeal.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49346863792432,"sku":"BDf55b","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49346863825200,"sku":"10f55b","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/f55b-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773696393","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f55b","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
