Really enjoyed the Conaway essay. I've been thinking the same thing about Walter Tevis since I saw Queen's Gambit, but haven't yet bought his books. Doing that now. Maybe Dan could suggest which one I should hit first?
Cheers, Neal—glad you liked the piece! Maybe THE HUSTLER? QUEEN’S GAMBIT is fabulous too — but you might get a cleaner feel for Tevis on the page by starting w one of the ones you *haven’t* seen recently as an adaptation? (Can’t go wrong, though!)
I really liked The Local. Hoping we get more books about Jimmy and The Leg.
Agreed! Great characters in this one.

Glad you liked it, Neal. Me too! I'll ask Dan where you should start.
