PLAYING THE GAME
Hardback. Neville Cardus suspected that K. S. Ranjisinhji, the legendary Indian prince who played cricket for Sussex and MCC at the turn of the century, was 'perhaps a dream, all dreamed on some midsummer's night long ago'. This book is the autho's absorbing and richly entertaining re-invention of Ranji's life - a novel imagining itself a biography. It reveals a man, confused and desperate to find an identity for himself - an adopted English gentleman, an adopted Indian prince - sometimes both, in the end, probably neither. he died in 1933, his balding pet parrot at his side. This book is about Englishness, cultural identity, impersonation and pretending, a book about real people, imagined people, and those who don't know the difference.
