A brilliant book . . . brilliantly written. You really do need to read it Adrian ChilesMixing the sacred and the profane, high culture and low culture, the sublime and the ridiculous, Deep Pockets is the book this game of unfathomable difficulty and infinite mystery well deserves Critic The game of snooker has a remarkable history. From humble origins, it blossomed spectacularly in the 1980s into the nations most popular sport. Top players became celebrities. The papers were stuffed with snooker scandals. It even conquered the pop charts.In the twentyfirst century, the game is still big news. Along with millions of British fans, a vast audience continues to grow across every corner of the world, from Europe to the Middle East to China. The global thirst for snooker has never been greater.But strangely perhaps snookers deeper meanings have rarely been explored. It is a game that celebrates subtlety and mystery a slow undertaking in a fastpaced world. Elegant and profound, snooker invites serious contemplation.Deep Pockets is a study of this uncharted territory a love letter to snooker, and an impassioned journey into its soul. Because snooker, in fact, is more than a game. It is a belief set a way of seeing an entire philosophical system. In chapters that cover everything from time, truth, loss, luck and more, Deep Pockets explores how snooker can help us to trace the meaning of life itself.
