   Did you know Walter Tevis wrote the Queen's Gambit?

   • I picked up Walter Tevis’s novel “ The Queen’s Gambit ,” from 1983, at Skylight Books, in Los Angeles, sometime around 2002. It was a staff pick, and the blurb on the blue index card taped underneath said something like “sleeper gem by dude who wrote ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth,’ about an orphaned chess prodigy addicted to downers—read this now.”

   Is the Queens Gambit a good book?

   • This book is simply a joy from start to finish. A wonderful read and one I cannot recommend enough. 5/5 stars. The Queens Gambit is about professional chess in the same way that David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest is about professional tennis. That is to say, the core of the book is about how we use our talents to destroy ourselves.
