Each tells the story of a single bet--on a horse race, a boxing match, blackjack, a chess match, along with reflections on life as revealed in the game in question. I like the author's writing style and hope that there will be more in this series.
Yeah, I've been enjoying those as well. I also really like Ben Greenman's Charts About Graphs and Graphs About Charts. McSweeney's is a great time-killing site. -Chuck
Nice talking with you Thursday night at the WPBT gathering at the Sherwood Forest bar. I wish we'd had a little more time to talk throughout the weekend.
Fantastic Link. Also enjoyed Dispatches from an Indian Casino...all 17 of them.
