A Gambler's Anatomy

Lethem's mix of realistic and fantastical themes feels seamless, but I wonder how he decided where to draw the line between the two.

The way the story explores luck and choice really made me think about how much control we have in our lives. Am I the only one who found it relatable on that level?

The pacing and order of events kept me guessing, but I’m curious if the author’s structure was planned or evolved during writing.
