The Noble Hustle
Colson Whitehead’s “The Noble Hustle” is a hilarious and insightful journey into the world of high-stakes poker.

His dry wit and keen observations bring the colorful characters and tense atmosphere to life, while offering a deeply personal reflection on the nature of risk, luck, and human nature. It’s a must-read for poker enthusiasts and literary fans alike.
