'TEVIS WRITES ABOUT POOL WITH POWER AND POETRY AND TENSION' WASHINGTON POST
The classic novel adapted for the screen by Martin Scorsese, starring Paul Newman and Tom Cruise.
It has been twenty years since the epic match-up between Eddie Felson and Minnesota Fats.

With a failed marriage behind him and a new generation of competitors in his way, Eddie must face his demons and find the will to succeed once more.
In the sequel to the cult classic The Hustler, Eddie Felson returns to the poolroom to give the game one last shot.

About the Author
Walter Tevis was an American novelist and short story writer. Whilst a student at the University of Kentucky, Tevis worked in a pool hall and published a story about the game for an English class. He would later revisit his love for pool in the novels THE HUSTLER (1959) and THE COLOR OF MONEY (1984), both of which would be adapted into multiple award-winning films starring Paul Newman. Among his other works, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1963) and MOCKINGBIRD (1980) are considered masterpieces of science fiction. Tevis died in 1984.
