Set in the casino halls of Macau, where men wear white velvet suits and drink naughty lemonades, The Ballad of a Small Player is a decadent morality tale narrated by a fake English aristocrat. 'Lord Doyle' has spent a lifetime siphoning off money from rich clients, and is now staring down the barrel of the endgame. His plan: to gamble away his final days. His game: baccarat punto blanco -- 'that slutty dirty queen of casino card games'. In this world of Eastern promises, our small player hits the big time, and so begins a spectacular lucky streak u in which hundreds of thousands of dollars come Doyle's way. This is a story of addiction and a portrait of a man going to seed amid a world of shattered dreams and superstition, where fortune's fickle hand gives and takes away in equal and terrifying measure.
