1373: Is it a good recommendation between Ivey and “The Wager”?
It’s a bad recommendation because of the mismatch between the narratives. One is about professional gambling while the other is a historical narrative. A gripping and masterful discovery of the life around gambling ensconced in game theory and psychological warfare versus a historical narrative about the shipwrecked British crew in the 18th century. The mismatch would be in pace and tone with The Wager as brutal, epic, and reflective, in contrast to the faster pace, modernistic tone, and cerebellar take Ivey’s life.
