The Lesson

A Vintage Short  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?  A chess fable from the wildly inventive, immensely talented author of A Cure for Suicide and Silence Once Begun , “The Lesson” is a surprising, poignant, macabre tale of games, children, and the unknowability of the beyond.
