Yes, I've already read that, as that is the foundational text for play; it was also the jumping off point for Salen & Zimmerman.

I would say that if the philosophy of play is of interest to you, then Salen & Zimmerman would serve as an excellent, comprehensive overview of that topic. :)

Quote from: SimonNZ on October 30, 2024, 07:56:29 PMCoincidentally I decided just the other day that I need to read Basho's travel journal Narrow Road To The Deep North in the very near future, after having a critic highlight a section on Basho coming across an orphaned three year old.

but right now having both of these on the go:





NB
The passage about the abandoned child is actually from Basho's first travelogue, Nozarashi Kikō, which Wikipedia translates as Records of a Weather Exposed Skeleton, written about 10 years before Narrow Road. It's a rather disturbing passage and one Basho clearly meant to be disturbing.
