    Nabokov's The Luzhin Defense of course. Barry Malzberg once wrote a science fiction novel about chess: Tactics of Conquest.https://twitter.com/sternbergh/status/1332055890636267521 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Adam Sternbergh @sternbergh
    what are the best books, fiction or non, about chess? Not strategy books or books full of notations but books that are about chess the way, say, POSITIVELY FIFTH STREET is about poker
