Usually it's other people's lives that are a mess. But when successful divorce lawyer JB's best friend dies, he finds his own world in turmoil. Suddenly, he must reexamine years of choices -- and one big secret. Card Game follows JB and his band of poker playing brothers from their first game in a 1970's suburban Maryland basement through their most memorable good and bad bets and wins and losses, as the men gather at a funeral to reflect on everything that they've faced together, and, even more importantly, all that they have not. Card Game brings to life an era of prank phone calls and fake IDs, unsupervised boys' nights out, and moments of head-shaking depravity, even as it tells the story of what happens when these boys grow up. A funny, poignant, and at times painful meditation on death, lifelong friendships, and honesty, Card Game is as irreverent as it is heartfelt.

Review

"You will laugh. You will cry. Occasionally, you may cover your eyes. David Bulitt has written a wonderful, compelling novel, a story of friendship, loss, and what really matters most in life. He perfectly captures 1970s suburbia and what happens when best high school buddies grow up. Poker Night has never been told like this. Card Game is aces. Can't wait for the next one!"
-Lyric W. Winik, past Washington Correspondent, PARADE Magazine and award-winning writer.

"In his remarkable first novel, 'Card Game', David Bulitt fills an inside straight, and leaves it all on the table. I look forward to reading his next one."
-- Larry Smith, author of "The Original," "Beyond Glory," "The Few and the Proud," and "Iwo Jima".

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
