Confessions of a Player

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A new poker classic from one of the world's top players.

'For Richer, For Poorer seizes the reader with its first sentence and never lets go. Victoria Coren writes, on several levels, with wit, honesty and perfect freshness.'
Martin Amis

'Victoria Coren is Britain's most successful woman poker player and her story, unlike most poker stories, has a happy ending. It is also shrewd and - for a poker player - astonishingly modest and frank. A class act.'
Al Alvarez

'Coren is vulnerable and yet self-aware, and the result is a brilliant blend: a touching personal memoir and a glimpse into the fascinating, colourful, deeply flawed world she loves so much.'
Dave Gorman

'This miseducation of a poker player is terrifically funny and terribly moving. Victoria Coren plays cards like a demon and writes like an angel.'
Patrick Marber
