Those I reread thrice are “After the Race”, “An Encounter” and “The Dead”.
“Chess” by Stefan Zweig
This story – a great childhood memory – accompanied me on best return journey from Ladbroke Grove to Piccadilly Circus I’ve ever had.
“Expectations” by John Lanchester
Published in The New Yorker and is apparently a reduced version of his novel Capital. Sardonic, cruel, precise and hilarious.
