Description
A master of psychological prose, John Irving is a writer whose command of his material has been compared in depth to that of Charles Dickens and other popular novelists of the nineteenth century. He was born on March 2, 1942, in Exeter, New Hampshire, USA. He studied at the University of Pittsburgh and at the Institute of European Studies in Vienna. In 1965 John Irving graduated from the University of New Hampshire, and he received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa, where Kurt Vonnegut was his fellow student. Later, John Irving taught literary courses at Mount Holyoke College. The novels that brought the writer worldwide fame—The World According to Garp, The Hotel New Hampshire, and The Cider House Rules—were adapted for the screen.
The World According to Garp is John Irving’s best novel, honored with a national award. Its main character is a talented writer whose works, both realistic and absurd, are woven into the fabric of the novel, making the narrative vivid and compelling. The author himself most accurately defined future readers’ reaction to the book: “It may occasionally bring a smile even to the gloomiest type, but it will break quite a few overly tender hearts.”
