Description
In an alternate 1990s, Scrabble has become a global sensation broadcast live on ESPN. Former world champions Florence Satine and Buenaventura Escobar meet in Argentina's Tigre Delta for one final game. Their words on the board spell out how they ended up here, and why they might die. The Scrabble league is big business, with major players earning fame, fortune, and corporate sponsorships. However, it's also plagued by corruption, match-fixing, and mysterious player disappearances. When Florence and Buenaventura defy the sinister forces controlling the game, they recall their tumultuous romance - a love affair with Scrabble that dominated their lives. This bilingual romp takes readers on a lexicographical journey across the world, raising the stakes with each new letter placed upon the rack.
