Description
In the game of bocce, no matter how intensely you study the world's surface, there's always a chance an unseen pebble will knock your ball in an unexpected direction. In The Pebble Chance, poet, travel writer, and bookseller Marius Kociejowski explores those moments - in literature and his life - when skill and providence collide. Includes encounters with Bruce Chatwin, Javier Marías, and more.
