David Silver's first two books of humorous bridge stories have received terrific reviews, and this new collection will be welcome by his many fans. Our familiar cast of characters (Wright Cardinal, Brad Bullock, Bruce Gowdy, and of course, Professor Silver himself) again takes bridge into the realms of literary parody. Astute readers will recognize allusions to the works of Hemingway and other literary giants, while movie buffs will enjoy the 'bridge versions' of Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Star Trek TNG, and other favorites. And when the professor takes on Death and the Devil in the ultimate post-mortem analysis, you just know who's going to come out the winner.
