Recommended article: John Irving on his latest novel
“The novels of John Irving (Exeter, New Hampshire, USA, 1942) reach bestseller success while critics praise their literary quality. The number of pages is scary, but reading a few inevitably captures interest. His books always offer broad views of American life, reflecting the vastness of the country and its social diversity. The narrator has a fictional heart sensitized to American myths, the defense of individual freedom, inexorably linked to weapons, ambition for power, big business, which allows one to go from rags to riches in half a lifetime, and living near nature. There is also never a lack of intrigue, a mystery that runs through the carefully crafted plot, and that leads to an inevitable denouement.”
