And anyone who has played backyard or street cricket understands it doesn’t require much to get a game going. ![]() Perhaps it’s a game which appeals to Indian sensibilities. ![]() It was taken up by people from all walks. India has not so much adapted the sport to their domestic circumstances, but rather cricket has been taken up with some vigour as a means of achieving social cachet, as a means of promoting the interests of particular groups communal, ethnic or social. It is a particularly Indian story, because communal grouping, caste and economic disparity are central to the story. The sub-title is instructive – ‘The Indian History of a British Sport’.

Written on an astonishing scale, and - in the last years of Roberto Bolano's life - with burning, visionary commitment, "2666" has been greeted across Europe and Latin America as the writer's masterpiece, surpassing even his previous work in imagination, beauty, and scope.
