John Irving

"

John Irving was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, on March 3, 1942, and he once admitted that he was a 'grim' child. Although he excelled in English at school and knew by the time he graduated that he wanted to write novels, it was not until he met a young Southern novelist named John Yount, at the University of New Hampshire, that he received encouragement.

In 1963, Irving enrolled at the Institute of European Studies in Vienna, and he later worked as a university lecturer. His first novel, Setting Free the Bears, about a plot to release all the animals from the Vienna Zoo, was followed by The Water-Method Man, a comic tale of a man with a urinary complaint, and The 158-Pound Marriage, which exposes the complications of spouse-swapping. Irving achieved international recognition with The World According to Garp, which he hoped would 'cause a few smiles among the tough-minded and break a few softer hearts'.

The Hotel New Hampshire is a startlingly original family saga, and The Cider House Rules is the story of Doctor Wilbur Larch - saint, obstetrician, founder of an orphanage, ether addict and abortionist - and of his favourite orphan, Homer Wells, who is never adopted. A Prayer for Owen Meany features the most unforgettable character Irving has yet created. A Son of the Circus is an extraordinary evocation of modern day India.

A collection of John Irving's shorter writing, Trying to Save Piggy Sneed, was published in 1993. Irving has also written the screenplays for The Cider House Rules and A Son of the Circus, and wrote about his experiences in the world of movies in his memoir My Movie Business.

Samenvatting

''WITTY, TENDERHEARTED, FERVENT, AND SCARIFYING.... This novel is an example, now rare, of the courage of imaginative ardor.'' -The New York Times Book Review
''THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is filled with people to love and to feel for... The characters in John Irving's novel break all the rules, and yet they remain noble and freespirited. Victims of tragedy, violence, and full of thought-provoking dilemmas than the lives of many real people.'' - The Houston Post
''AN OLD-FASHIONED, BIG-HEARTED NOVEL... with its epic yearning caught in the 19th century, somewhere between Trollope and Twain... The rich detail makes for vintage Irving.''-The Boston Sunday Globe
''[IRVING] IS AMONG THE VERY BEST STORYTELLERS AT WORK TODAY. At the base of Irving's own moral concerns is a rare and lasting regard for human kindness.'' -Philadelphia Inquirer
''ENTERTAINING AND AFFECTING... Irving is the most relentlessly inventive writer around... A truly astounding amount of artistry and ingenuity.'' -The San Diego Union
