I picked this up thinking (somehow) that it was fiction by Whitehead. It’s actually about the time he got staked to play in the World Series of Poker. It’s interesting in that it talks about poker culture. It wasn’t interesting in that I don’t entirely know how to play poker and the book claims it tells you how to play but doesn’t really so I was confused a little when the game mechanics were being described. I also liked getting to know more about Whitehead (just out of a relationship at the time, and in his feels about that and other things) because I’ve liked a lot of his other books
