Review Quote | Masterly… If you — like me — find gambling irresistible, then this section of the book is utterly compelling. It is clear enough to be accessible to the layman but with enough detail and anecdotes to interest those who already know the basics. … [A] highly readable and engaging tour |
Other text | Engrossing… The River and the Village are among the more memorable and illuminating new social typologies I’ve come across in recent years… A meditation on risk, a study of those most comfortable taking it and an invitation for the rest of us to think about what it means that so much more of our lives now seems to hang on it |
