Cemetery Chess is McIntosh at his most sly and inventive—a book where memory, mortality, and mischief meet on the board. With his trademark wit and a storyteller’s instinct for the uncanny, McIntosh turns a simple game into a meditation on strategy, fate, and the strange negotiations we make with the past. It’s sharp, surprising, and irresistibly readable, perfect for fans of literary memoir with a surreal, humorous edge.
