DON DELILLO'S LOST COMIC MASTERPIECE
'Outrageously funny, erotic and vivid in its unforgettable characters and skewed wisdom. It's also a kind of talisman against a thousand-thousand pointless, moribund celebrity memoirs; a pitch-perfect satire that somehow also remains joyous and uncynical. My mind and spirit feels cleansed by it.' Luke Kennard, Booker-longlisted author of BLACK BAG
'Written with bone-dry wit, pitch-perfect dialogue and edgy social satire... The novel is studded with absurd, madcap moments, but it also sneaks in social satire thatin retrospect looks, as DeLillo's work often does, prescient' New York Times
Cleo Birdwell is twenty-four, a schoolteacher's daughter from Badger, Ohio, and the first ever female recruit to play in the National Hockey League. She is an instant sensation on and off the ice - lauded not only for her mettle on the rink, but also for her honey blonde hair, her milky blue eyes, her style and her stamina. And as she spends her first season travelling across North America, she can't help but stumble into her own adventures of sex, fun, and scandal.
A cult treasure, re-issued for the first time in fifty years, Don DeLillo's pseudonymous masterpiece offers a gloriously funny skewering of the absurdity of the male gaze, the commodification of sport, the booming culture of 70s America - and of one young woman determined to make her way on her own terms.
'I don't want to talk about it' Don DeLillo
'The funniest book I've ever read' Rachel Kushner, Booker-shortlisted author of CREATION LAKE
