ISBN10: 0380729237, ISBN13: 9780380729234, [publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Inc, New York, NY] Softcover Paperback. At the age of 17, David McCumber was stricken with "road fever" that irresistible call to the itinerant life of a professional gambler. Twenty-two years later, he got the chance to follow that dream-not as a player but as the "stakehorse" (financial backer) for Tony Annigoni, a non-smoking, macrobiotic-eating "Renaissance Pool Hustler," student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green-felt poetry of the dead stroke." With $27,000 in David's pocket they took off together on an astonishing four-month odyssey across America-traveling from seedy, hole-in-the-wall billiard parlors to high-class snooker rooms to high-tension pro tourneys, from Seattle to Miami and back again-exploring a shady twilight subculture and uniquely American mythos, in search of serious money, local glory.and the perfect hustle. Award-winning author David McCumber reveals the unknown world of the pool hustler as he travels across the country with one of America's top players, Tony Annigoni. From elegant snookers clubs to high-pressure tournaments to chancy dives, this wise-cracking and occasionally hair-raising road trip explores a distinctive American subculture.

In the manner of the old-time pool hustlers who rode the rails from town to town, McCumber and Annigoni (a vegetarian martial artist who wields his cue with Zen-like concentration) set off by train. Rambling through San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Miami, and dozens of other places, they travel in a twilight world where people with names like Cornbread Red and Kamikaze Bob play serious pool for serious money. From elegant snooker rooms in Vancouver to high-pressure tournaments in Reno to chancy dives in the middle of nowhere, McCumber depicts the billiards scene with a keen eye, introducing us to the most colorful characters this side of Damon Runyon and decoding the psychology and the secret language of the hustle.
