Description
At Logos College in West Texas, the world of American college football collides with the Cold War era. A darkly funny satire of human nature unfolds as huge young men, vacuum-packed into shoulder pads and shiny helmets, play with intense passion.
The running back Gary Harkness experiences periodic fits of nuclear glee, fueled by his fear of and fascination with nuclear conflict. As the line between football and nuclear warfare blurs, the actions of the players become unorthodox and even bizarre.
This triumphantly funny novel explores the metaphor of football as war, revealing a world teetering on the brink of destruction through rich, original prose.
