Tamil Literature XI - Football World Cup 2014


In conjunction with FIFA World Cup 2014 , Penguin publishers are releasing different countries literature XI everyday .  I definitely can not put XI writers for India as a whole because i have not read that much . So I decided to list my XI literary figures of Tamil literature.  These are writers I enjoyed reading . I chose only writers who are alive and writing still.

Here is my list of XI . This team can definitely match current bunch of writers from any countries.

1.  K. Rajanarayanan (Kira) (Captain & Goal Keeper)
2. Poomani
3. Ashokamithiran
4. Pirabanjan
5. Naanjil Naadan
6. Vannanilavan
7. Perumalmurugan
8. Thoppil Mohamad Meeran
9. Jeyamohan
10. S Ramakrishnan
11. Imaiyam

Three substitutes:
12 . Tamilselvan
13.  J D Cruz
14. Pavachelladurai

I have not included any poets here . I like the above listed writers prose works a lot . I also have not included any female writers though I love the works of Salma , Sakthijothi etc.

Its time to enjoy the real football world cup!
