About the Author
Walter Tevis was an American novelist and short story writer. Whilst a student at the University of Kentucky, Tevis worked in a pool hall and published a story about the game for an English class. He would later revisit his love for pool in the novels THE HUSTLER (1959) and THE COLOR OF MONEY (1984), both of which would be adapted into multiple award-winning films starring Paul Newman. Among his other works, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1963) and MOCKINGBIRD (1980) are considered masterpieces of science fiction. Tevis died in 1984.
Review
"The writing here is taut and evocative. Tevis is unequaled when it comes to creating and sustaining the tension of a high stakes game. Even readers who have never lifted a cue will be captivated."
"A great read, entertainment of a high order...Tevis makes you care about his quirky characters...Walter Tevis wrote like a dream, and he told some wonderful stories."
"Tevis emerges as a writer of considerable range and imagination, capable of bringing an almost mystical sense of wonder to the low-life poolroom scenerios."
