Lazy Ways to Make a Living

Rose, a lexicographer and skilled chess player with a taste for pleasure, has fallen on hard times when she runs into Jamie. Years earlier she beat him at chess, and he has never got over the defeat or forgotten the sight of her carefully kept nails hovering over the board. Now she has no money, while he is wealthy and anxious not to lose her again. They make an unusual arrangement: she will play chess with him, and in exchange he will support her. Rose is about to discover what life as a kept woman in the present day is really like.
