- The Thinking Fans Guide to the World Cup is a unique literary companion to the biggest sporting event on the planet indispensable to the reader with a passion for football and a thought and a care for everything else. With the literary appeal of Granta and McSweeneys, it is a book to set by the television for the month the World Cup lasts, and to turn to again and again when it is over.
An almanac, a guide, and a programme all rolled into one, the editors Matt Weiland (Granta) and Sean Wilsey (McSweeneys) have gathered together a remarkable team of 32 talents, among them Henning Mankell and Nick Hornby, to write original pieces of reportage and memoir on the 32 qualifying nations. The book also includes everything any fan needs to follow the World Cup from opening match to the final, including results from past tournaments and statistics on the players and teams and countries themselves.
