review of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Sat in the darkness of my bedroom, under the weak light of a lamp, I was struck by how the death of someone, whether we know them or not, is cause for reflection. It was late at night when I reached the book’s most tragic moment. Yet, at the same time, there is that oppressive feeling that everything will stay the same. A few days after the death of the Queen, I was reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. The death of Queen Elizabeth II gives the sense that nothing will ever be the same again. Or to stay with the one that chose you.It’s been a strange week or so in the UK. There is always another game, another life to play when this one runs out of hearts, another tomorrow to make a different choice. The title Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is taken from a line from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, but when placed into the world of gamers it is a reference to possibilities. Still the need to play and connect with one another, the intersection of art and work. And on the other side there is still the game. Spanning a total of 30 years, the story brings in other collaborators, other lovers, tragedy, trauma, and rebirth. A partnership evolves that propels both to fame and fortune, and their friendship feels strong and full of a real love for one another.īut as so often happens, fame and fortune take their toll on both the partnership and the friendship.

But now it is the creation of games that draws them back together. One attends Harvard, the other MIT, and both are still gaming. Years later in a Boston T station in front of a magic eye poster that Sam just cannot see, the two meet again.

It’s 1984 and Sam teaches Sadie how to land Mario at the top of the flagpole for the first time. Both there for a different reason, Sadie’s sick sister and Sam’s severely injured foot, they discover each other’s love for video games. Sam and Sadie meet in a children’s hospital.
