In het British Museum ligt een exemplaar van een bordspel van zo'n 4.500 jaar oud. Game of Ur, heet het nu, vernoemd naar de vindplaats, de Iraakse stad Ur. De spelregels staan op een kleitablet dat er naast ligt.

Het is mijn ambitie zelf ook nog eens een houten exemplaar te maken.

Maar aanvullend: dit spel wordt ook weer vernoemd in Rimworld, een computerspel dat vanaf 2013…

“I do smoke, but I’ve moved to sugary vapes now,” I say, immediately feeling like I shouldn’t have. I’m in the elegant Edward Sahakian Cigar Lounge at the Bvlgari Hotel in Knightsbridge, explaining my smoking history to Craig King, the shop’s expert cigar sommelier.

Patrick Radden Keefe is interested in blockbuster stories. He once told _The New Yorker_ ’s _Critics at Large_ podcast that he wasn’t a fan of “true crime.” Instead, he often writes about fraud, gangsters, scammers, and high-powered lawyers.

What will it take to be fulfilled by life? Love, perhaps, or community, power, or professional success. At different points in my life I believed that having my work published would make me happy, or leaving the country, going back to school, getting a literary agent. I thought a new girlfriend might do it, or a new apartment. Some of these I achieved; some I’ve yet to; one or two, thankfully,…
