The "over-my-shoulder" genre became prominent in the writing of
Terence Reese and continued in the work of excellent writers such
as Mike Lawrence and Larry Cohen. In this genre the reader gains
access to the mind and thought processes of an expert. The reader
encounters techniques -- such as counting and drawing inferences --
that are supposedly expert territory. Frank Stewart’s writing,
which comprises books, hundreds of magazine articles and, to date,
about 11,000 newspaper columns, focuses on logical thinking. During
a session of bridge, a player faces hundreds of decisions. Some can
be resolved instinctively, but many require reasoning. That is what
makes the game so exhilarating: having a problem and figuring out
the answer. In this book you sit with the author and can compare
your decisions with his. You won't agree with all his actions –
bridge involves personal style and judgment – but you will find
it instructive to listen in on his thoughts.
