Showcase Writer: John Irving John Irving first came to my attention with The World According to Garp. Then I went back and read his other works, and I almost stopped. Three previous books about wrestling, bears, sex, and Vienna. But he hit it right with Garp, and with that out of his system, went on to other things (although again with the damn bear in The Hotel New Hampshire). My daughter is now reading The Cider House Rules for school, and likes it (although she didn't care for A Prayer For Owen Meany). My wife asked me if I approve, and I heartily said yes. It's important for young people to see the difference between what's right for people and what hypocrisy is represented by some laws. And it's a great book. So I've read everything of his in print, and like about every other one. But I keep reading, because he's a damn fine writer at his best, and still worth it when he's not. Although he has a great heart and feels deeply for humanity, he has some need to physically mutilate his characters in his books, which gets overdone to death. But that's the pain of life, and death, and he makes it a bit surreal, but always human. He always makes you feel. He's serious, and popular, and still works hard to tell a great story. Looks like he's got a memoir I'll have to read: My Movie Business, about making his books into film.
