IAN BURUMA - Playing the Game

Title: Playing the Game
Description: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1999. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 232. Buruma's prismatic, fascinating first novel is a portrait of Ranji, the cricket player who was "not simply the greatest cricketer of all time, but a fairy tale prince. so famous that children sang songs about him, and grown men wept when they saw him play." Buruma weaves the adventures of an unnamed narrator together with a (fictional) undiscovered memoir of Ranji to create a witty and reverbatory meditation on England, India and the post-colonial sense of self.
