The Cavarello Assault

Chess

I’ve just heard this morning that the Packingtown Review, the new magazine from the University of Illinois in Chicago, has accepted my short story The Cavarello Assault for their first issue.

The story is about chess, nuns and the arts of seduction, and was originally inspired by the speculations on the subject of ‘passionate chess’ in a somewhat obscure book called Clearing the Path by the English Buddhist monk, Nanavira Thera.

I’ll post here again when the story is published.
