The Hustler
To the strangers he plays in darkened pool halls, at first "Fast" Eddie Felson seems like a sloppy pool player with bright eyes and an extraordinary grin. But when real money is on the line, they see that Eddie is a hustler of the first order. But Eddie's got ambitions and wants to quit his two-bit hustling for the big time. And when he sets his sights on Minnesota Fats, the best pool player in the country, he knows this match will be a true test of his skill--and he knows he can win. But what Eddie doesn't know is that the game of pool isn't all about skill. It's about guts and stamina, and, above all, character.

My book group is on a novel-into-movie tear: after loving Thomas Savage’s The Power of the Dog, we are reading Walter Tevis’ The Hustler, one of my late husband’s faves. Tevis also wrote The Queen’s Gambit, The Color of Money, and The Man Who Fell to Earth. https://t.co/lZPNbjyELK
