Review
"Yglesias's third novel continues his development as a skilled and intellectually vigorous literary artist. The Game Player is more tightly structured and, seemingly, less autobiographical than his previous work; this is not entirely to the good, witness the book's overly pat ending. But his writing is crisp and poised, and his ideas are fresh and honestly examined. It is a pleasure to read a young novelist who dares to be intellectual without being murky or faddish."
