reviewed Play Redux: The Form of Computer Games on July 10, 2014
Play Redux
Every chapter is a tiny little vignette about a person that Marion Winik knew who is now dead. Sometimes it's a close friend or relation, other times it's the town dentist. Some of these little stories hit me hard and others felt like a throw away page....and after reading a dozen they all started to blur together. This book is only 96 pages so you can read them all in one sitting but that doesn't do any of them justice. The fact that I can't remember these people lease me a little sadder than when I didn't know them at all.
