An overeducated underachiever, Peter Alson spent his post-college decades doing his best not to grow up. But having just turned fifty, this rambling-gambling bachelor decides it’s time to settle down. So he pops the question to his longtime girlfriend, then hatches a plan to pay for their wedding — involving poker and a trip to Las Vegas.
Take Me to the River is a hilarious, wrenching, full-tilt Vegas exploration of one man’s obsession with poker and the lessons it has to offer — about probability and luck, good fortune and bad, patience, perseverance, and — most fitting for a man with marriage in his near future — commitment.
