Event Description

Literary writers occasionally write on their passion for sport. Thus Joyce Carol Oates on boxing, Nabokov on chess, Stephen Jay Gould on baseball, John Updike on golf. The traffic is seldom in the other direction.

Suresh Menon’s Why Don’t You Write Something I Might Read? Reading, Writing and Arrhythmia is an attempt to redress that – a sportswriter writing on his passion for literature.

No one straddles the two worlds as easily and with such impact as Ramachandra Guha, the great historian as celebrated for his writings on cricket. Here he is in conversation with Menon.
