For Richer, For Poorer is Victoria Coren’s new book for September 2009, a frank and colourful memoir of life in the poker underworld. But perhaps you disapprove strongly of gambling and would prefer to read about pornography? If so, have a look at Once More, With Feeling, a true and funny adventure in the sex trade. Or perhaps you simply don’t enjoy Victoria’s writing, which is a shame when her father was such a genius. If that is the case, snap up Chocolate And Cuckoo Clocks, an anthology of his greatest comic writing, and skip the introduction.
