Here is a treat for devoted fans of John Irving. First published twenty years ago, this collection features a dozen short works, starting with three memoirs. The longest, "The Imaginary Girlfriend," candidly explores his dual careers in writing and wrestling, filled with humorous anecdotes that parallel the themes in his novels. The middle section contains six finished stories from his extensive career, including "Interior Space," which earned the O. Henry Award. The final part includes three homages: one to Gunter Grass and two to Charles Dickens. Each piece is accompanied by author's notes that offer insight into the writing process and context. This commemorative edition is a treasure for hardcover enthusiasts and serves as an ideal introduction for new readers to the author behind such moving and mischievous works as The World According to Garp and A Prayer for Owen Meany. Skyhorse Publishing, along with its imprints, proudly offers a diverse range of fiction, including novels, thrillers, comedy, romance, and classics, ensuring a platform for both celebrated and overlooked authors alike.
