This week I discuss Al Alvarez’s classic The Biggest Game in Town with writer and poker-chronicler-du-jour Lance Bradley. The book details the British poet and critic’s month spent in downtown Las Vegas covering the 1981 World Series of Poker for The New Yorker, and it continues to be celebrated to this day as one of the greatest books on poker ever written. We discuss the romanticism of gambling, Texas outlaws and hit men, and Sylvia Plath. Presented by InGame.com.
