Synopsis
End Zone is the title of Don DeLillo's second novel published in 1972. It is a light-hearted farce that preshadows much of his later, more mature work. Set at small Logos College in West Texas, End Zone is narrated by Gary Harkness, a blocking back on the American football team during that school's first integrated season.
