About this product

Product Information

The book begins with Mordecai Richler's own experiences as a teenage pool room hustler in Montreal and his addiction to the game ever since, leading into a history of the game from its beginnings in the nineteenth century. He also explores the 'bad boys' of snooker from Alex Higgins to Ronnie O'Sullivan, as well as fellow-countrymen Cliff Thorburn and Kirk Stevens, but the central figure of the book is Stephen Hendry, the most talented player ever. In addition, Richler visits the craftsmen who make the champions' cues, the agents who control the sport and the groupies who follow the circuit to try and get close to the millionaire players.Never before has snooker been explored with such perception, wit and brio and, like all great sports writing, this book transcends its subject in unexpected, fascinating ways.
