He heads to Chicago to test himself against the legendary Minnesota Fats in more than forty-hours of high-stakes pool. Can he find the will to overcome his failings and fulfil his potential as the best there is?

The Hustler by Walter Tevis
Das Buch war so schön! Es war ein sehr angenehmer Schreibstil und ein relativ anspruchsvolles aber leicht zu verstehendes Englisch. Es ist mein zweites Buch des Autors und mein erstes von ihm auf Englisch. Ich habe zuvor von ihm das Damengambit gelesen und The Hustler hat mir das gleiche Gefühl wie damals gegeben.❤️
