Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has been published every year since 1864 and Howard Jackson in The Independent celebrates the 149th edition by comparing the book with great works of fiction.
To this degree Wisden is essentially a commemoration of success, unlike great novels which are commemorations of failure. But I would still be inclined to put Wisden on my fiction shelves, so fantastical, like a tale from Kafka or Borges, is its illusory narrative of order.
