Speaking to his inspiration for writing the novel, Malouf said, "seeing the physical disintegration of the Twin Towers in real-time on television, continued the chain of events that led to me writing Ransom-this idea of the demise of the city." Also, Priam and Achilles are covered much more in Malouf's Ransom, which leads to more differences between the two texts. First, Somax, who drives the cart Priam rides on his way to his negotiations with Achilles, is not mentioned in the original narrative this change leads to a drastically different mode of interaction with Hermes in Ransom. Ransom differs from the Iliad in several key respects. While the Iliad covers the entirety of the last year of the Trojan War, a famous conflict in Greek myth between the allied Greeks and the citizens of the city of Troy, Ransom deals specifically with the aftermath of the death of the Trojan prince, Hector, and his father's attempt to get back Hector's body so he can give him a proper burial. It retells the story of Homer's Iliad from books 22 to 24. David Malouf's Ransom (2009) is a profound novel of immense suffering, sorrow, and redemption. Rather, Guha intelligently juxtaposes the two, showing how they are interwoven like the finest Benares silk. It is neither the history of the game, nor of the country. Ramachandra Guha's exceptional new book analyses cricket's central role in the Indian psyche. Such faith in the ability of a multi-religious group of cricketers may seem naive, but within weeks, India returned to normality. Posters appeared with photographs of Kapil Dev, Mohammed Azharuddin, Roger Binny and Maninder Singh, captioned "Khelenge saath, jiyenge saath" (We'll play together, live together). Then the government remembered that India had won the World Cup, and sought the soothing power of cricket. Thousands of Sikhs were killed, and troops patrolled the streets to keep warring communities apart. In 1984, riots spread across India after Indira Gandhi's assassination.

In “Kokomo,” as in several other stories, Pitt plays with the line between realism and surrealism: the town hums, a woman sees apparitions of dogs, a rebel leader in a war-torn country hires a mercenary anthem-writer, a Parisian accountant channels the spirit of a recently dead anarchist. “Even if it’s only ten of us who hear the noise, I have to believe He’d spare us.” Here, paying attention is literally the key to survival. “I can’t believe He’d sweep the whole town away,” he says. warns that God is about to cleanse the world unless more people pay attention. They start as the usual childhood fears but transform over several years into apocalyptic visions à la Sodom and Gomorrah. A young boy, J.J., begins to have nightmares triggered by the noise. In “Kokomo,” a small Indiana city emits a low-grade hum that only some people can hear, or, more accurately, to which only some people are paying close enough attention to notice.
