Welcome to the world of Paul Hoffman, Woodstock writer, woodpusher, and occasional deep thinker. These days I'm thinking about bad bishops, evocative language, obsessive geniuses, brewed coffee, con games, fatherhood, and cheese. I have an op ed piece on cheating scandals in sports and chess in The Washington Post.

Long reviews of King's Gambit: A Son, a Father, and the World's Most Dangerous Game appeared in The New York Times Sunday Book Review and Chronogram. I've posted other interesting reviews here; King's Gambit was awarded an A- by Entertainment Weekly, three and half out of four stars by People, and kind words by grandmaster Andy Soltis in the New York Post.
