The Question of Bloggo

Unnoticed by most (well, by me, 'til now): Bosnian-born writer Aleksandar Hemon, one of the best fiction writers working today, is blogging the World Cup for The New Republic's appealingly nerdy, nebbishy 'Cuplog. Hemon's football writing doesn't quite match the haunting crackle of his books ("Nowhere Man" and "The Question of Bruno"), but his observations mix nicely with those of Franklin "How Football Explains the World/My Brother is Very Famous" Foer and others.
