The Tournament by John Clarke

'The Tournament is a novel of the 20th century in which the greatest thinkers and personalities engage in a two-week tennis tournament. Albert Einstein is seeded fourth, Chaplin, Freud, and van Gogh are in top rankings, and seeded first is Tony Chekhov.

'The Tournament is a funny, strange, and beguiling book in which, game by game and match by match, the world's most creative thinkers put their tennis skills to the ultimate test.
