Michael Clune learned about the space between our own minds and those of others through video games. You can bridge that mental space by reading Gamelife, his memoir of a childhood spent playing Suspended and The Bard’s Tale II. Or you can get into his head the same way he learned how to get out of it—through a video game of Gamelife, from the Paris Review and Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
