Walter Tevis

Walter Tevis was an American novelist and short story writer. Born in 1928, he is best known for The Hustler, The Color of Money, and The Queen's Gambit — all of which were adapted into acclaimed films or television series. The Queen's Gambit became a global Netflix sensation in 2020. Far From Home is a collection of his science fiction short stories — inventive, thought-provoking tales from a writer whose imagination ranged far beyond the pool halls and chessboards for which he is most famous. Tevis was also the author of the science fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth. Tevis died in 1984. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers brilliant fiction from the author behind some of the greatest screen adaptations of all time.
