The Gin Game by D.L. Coburn, a 1978 Pulitzer Prize winner for drama, uses a card game as a metaphor for life. Weller Martin is playing solitaire on the porch of a seedy nursing home. Enter Fonsia Dorsey, a prim, self-righteous lady. They discover they both dislike the home and enjoy gin rummy so they begin to plan and to reveal intimate details of their lives. Some adult language.
