The Word: Legerdemain, Courtesy of Frederick Exley

What's the word?  This time around, it's "legerdemain" from Frederick Exley's A Fan's Notes, one of Shay's all-time favorites.  Brock Clarke, who wrote An Arsonist's Guide to New England, has a new book out called Exley in which the real dead author plays an imagined role within the fiction.  Got that?
