Introduction to Nell Cahn

Shreveport resident Nell Cahn has made waves in the world of bridge and has now embarked on a new journey with her memoir "You Can’t Make It Up." Released in September, her book is a testament to her extraordinary life and accomplishments.

A Lifetime Dedicated to Bridge

Nell Cahn is widely recognized in the bridge community. With a World Grand Master and Grand Life Master title under her belt, she has made a significant mark on the game. In 1991, her women’s team won a world championship in Japan, highlighting her expertise and dedication.

"I fell in love with bridge when I turned my first card. My mother said, ‘Honey, you’ve watched enough. Sit down. We’ll help you along as we go,’" she recalled in an interview.

Bridge has been more than a hobby for Cahn; it has been a passion that has influenced her life. She explained, "Bridge is a wonderful game, and I have always called it my insurance against old age."

From Memoirs to Memoir: Nell Cahn’s Writing Journey

Cahn began recording her life’s stories to pass down to her children around a decade ago. The COVID-19 pandemic provided the perfect opportunity to update and expand these memoirs. An encouraging English teacher encouraged Cahn to keep writing, inspiring her to transform her stories into a book.
