Puzzle Notes
Dear friends,
This week's puzzle comes from Classic editor Ben Tausig, at 2.5/5 difficulty and edited by Francis Heaney. It's called "Recess Activities."
Oh, and I get to plug something! In my other life, I have a new book that's now available for pre-order. It's called
Bangkok After Dark: Maurice Rocco, Transnational Nightlife, and the Making of Cold War Intimacies. (At that link, you can get a 30% discount with the code E25TAUSG, but you can also buy it elsewhere if preferred). It's an academic book, but I hope readable. The topic is nightlife in Thailand during the US war in Vietnam, with a quasi-biographical focus on a forgotten -- but remarkable -- American pianist named Maurice Rocco, who became an expatriate in Bangkok from 1964 until 1976, when he was murdered. Maybe if you enjoy my crosswords you'll also enjoy the book? I don't know! But you can see!
Yrs,
Ben and the expanded AVCX crew
