'To say "the best cricket book ever written" is piffingly
inadequate praise' Guardian 'Great claims have been made for
[Beyond a Boundary] since its first appearance in 1963: that it is
the greatest sports book ever written; that it brings the outsider
a privileged insight into West Indian culture; that it is a severe
examination of the colonial condition. All are true' Sunday Times C
L R James, one of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century,
was devoted to the game of cricket. In this classic summation of
half a lifetime spent playing, watching and writing about the
sport, he recounts the story of his overriding passion and tells us
of the players whom he knew and loved, exploring the game's
psychology and aesthetics, and the issues of class, race and
politics that surround it. Part memoir of a West Indian boyhood,
part passionate celebration and defence of cricket as an art form,
part indictment of colonialism, Beyond a Boundary addresses not
just a sport but a whole culture and asks the question, 'What do
they know of cricket who only cricket know?
