Where was the 2006 World Cup of Writers held this year? Italy! Where else?
Seems the lads (and as far as I could tell from www.cbc.ca/arts/books/writerscup.html it WAS only lads) would talk books all night and battle on the soccer pitch all day. Sounds good.
"The Dutch goaltender smoked a pipe, pissed behind his team's net and was known for his translations of James Joyce."
Can't argue w/that.
The winner? Not England. Not Italy either. They apparently lost in (what else is new?) penalty kicks against the Scandinavians.
