About the Book
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
Joey Silver and John Carruthers (JC) have been top Canadian bridge players for over fifty years. As a partnership and as friends, they go back twenty-five years, and have a silver medal in World Championship play to their credit, as well as numerous Canadian Championships.
This book continues Joey’s popular ‘Confessions of a Bridge Addict’ column, begun on Bridge Winners during COVID. The confessions showcase Joey’s successes and failures both at the bridge table and in life. Interspersed throughout are stories of his exploits as a lawyer in the Québec court system, in which he meets an array of personalities and finds his passon for competition. The lessons learned as a public defender mirror those learned at the bridge table, lessons he shares with his reader.
Joey agreed to write this book on the condition that JC would be his co-author and editor. The result of this collaboration delivers to readers an insightful book on the game, with many interesting characters.
