  Live Action Role Playing, commonly known as LARP, is a form of role-playing game where participants embody their characters physically and interact within a structured narrative. Unlike traditional tabletop role-playing games, LARP involves players dressing in costumes, using props, and engaging in live-action scenarios that unfold in real-time. These scenarios can take place in a variety of settings, such as forests, parks, buildings, or specially designed venues, each chosen to enhance the immersion of the experience. 
    
  The narratives in LARP can range from fantasy and science fiction to historical reenactments or modern-day scenarios. Players create and develop their characters, often with detailed backstories and personalities, and then navigate through the storyline, making decisions and interacting with other characters. This interaction can involve dialogue, combat, or collaborative problem-solving, all governed by a set of rules and guidelines that ensure fairness and continuity within the game.

  A Quiet Evening - The Travels of...

  Norman Lewis

  Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American indigenous tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. Lewis told Ian Fleming, who had commissioned him, that the meeting was 'a shattering experience of the kind likely to sabotage ambition'. Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.
