The Pride and the Sorrow is the first novel by Matt Fullerty. I just hope you like chess fiction, genius and madness, a faded and seedy New Orleans of the nineteenth century and a tragic love story. Checkmate!
My novel about love, betrayal and chess in New Orleans: The Pride and the Sorrow
Paul Morphy is today remembered as "the pride and the sorrow" of chess, a short-lived genius. Clarabelle and her fellow tricksters of Basin Street , New Orleans, have been forgotten by history. These image shows the townhouse brothels of New Orleans, and Basin Street as it is today.
