The Lesson (Kindle Single)

A Vintage ShortÂ

Loring is a widow and chess master who makes her living giving chess lessons; her newest student, who might be a prodigy, bears a striking resemblance to her dead spouse. Has her chess champion husband found a final move beyond the grave?Â

A chess fable from the wildly inventive, immensely talented author of A Cure for Suicide and Silence Once Begun, â€œThe Lessonâ€ is a surprising, poignant, macabre tale of games, children, and the unknowability of the beyond. Channeling the chess masterpieces of Nabokov and Stefan Zweig, Jesse Ballâ€™s newest is a fabulous and entertaining novella that astonishes from first move to last.
