Description
John Irving has a brilliant gift for storytelling, producing quirky and engrossing page-turners to both popular and critical acclaim. Irving happily tackles unfamiliar material, making it hard to generalize about the themes he explores. Though the frame is often a domestic story (coming-of-age; love; divorce; grief), he explores various social and political issues. Stories and novels may be set in South Asia, his native New England, or Europe, but no matter the setting, his scenes are recognizable, his characters believable and fully developed, and their joys and struggles realistic.
