Bridge Autobiographies

Recommended Posts

I've read a number of good ones, all from the last century. Anyone know of others (old or new)?

 

The ones I've read:

 

At the Table, Bob Hamman

The Bridge Bum, Alan Sontag

Husbands and Other Men I've Played With, Patricia Fox Sheinwold

Education of a Bridge Player, Howard Schenken

My Life in Bridge, Omar Sharif

Bridge, Zia and Me. Michael Rosenberg

 

 

Has one of the greatest single dummy play problems I’ve ever seen, as a bonus

Without searching the shelves, others that come to mind are:

 

Zia: Bridge My Way

Bobby Wolff: The Lone Wolff

Terence Reese: Bridge at the Top

Martin Hoffman: Bridging Two Worlds (about much more than his bridge life; as a boy he survived both a year in Auschwitz and the Death March to Buchenwald)

 

I happen to be awaiting delivery of Rixi Markus: A Vulnerable Game

 

Whilst not really autobiographies, Barnet Shenkin's 'Playing with the Bridge Legends' and 'Heroes, Icons and Scandals' have plenty of reminiscences.
