Football narratives are nostalgic and parochial, unable to capture the modern global reality. English literature continues to hold on to outdated local mythologies, failing to represent the widespread, diverse nature of the sport today.
Joseph O'Neill's novel portrays football as a key cultural aspect of our globalized era through a transnational perspective. The story follows half-brothers on a quest to sign a notable African teenager, reflecting the cosmopolitan essence of the sport.
