Which literary giants would you pick to write about cricketers?
The concept for this is quite simple, but will require a degree of literary knowledge. You have to pick a great writer to pen the biography of the great cricketer’s of today.
So pick your cricketers, and match them to a famous writer.
So who will write about Ponting, Tendulkar, Kallis, Muralitharan etc?
Who would DH Lawrence, William Shakespeare, Charlotte Bronte, etc be a suitable author for?
And say why you choose a particular writer for a particular cricketer. You know me, the more detail the better!
Make your choices, and have fun!
Edit. Roger FIMG: Not fancy tackling it yourself? You do have the intelligence, you know.
This is one of the funniest and most interesting questions I’ve stumbled across on yahoo. Nice one.
Homer will write an epic about Tendulkar and the next Alexander the Great will sleep with a copy of this book under his pillow until the day he dies.
Walt Whitman will write a lengthy homoerotic ode to Michael Clark expressing his inner most desire for a kinship of sexual proclivity.
Jane Austen and George Eliot will team up to write the only definitive guide to great batsmen with strike-rates below 40. 200 pages of drivel will be dedicated to Michael Atherton, who will also later appear almost nude in a center fold for a hussler sploof on the book.
Garcia Marquez will write a tale of magic realism in which Murli will simultaneously be both protagonist and antagonist in a Borges-like post-modern chaotic novel that will be widely read and talked about in many circles, but which will also be a hateful novel that secretly no one enjoys.
Ponting will feature in a series of steamy Mills and Boons pot boilers that will be devoured by any number of depressed middle aged women.
