Review Detail

Reader reviewed by K. Ledford

A wonderful book about a man finding himself as an author and as a father. He struggles to deal with is famous feminist mother who becomes a great author. He ends up writing in her shadow but making a name for himself nontheless. His best friend is a transvestite who used to be a professional football player! As his writing career flourishes he must deal with family problems at home. This is perhaps John Irving's finest work. A definite "must read!"
