More about the book

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 recounts his dual careers in writing and wrestling, filled with hilarious anecdotes that reflect the lessons of both passions. The middle section presents six finished stories from his extensive career, including "Interior Space," which earned him 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, offering insights into the writing process. This commemorative edition is a treasure for hardcover enthusiasts and serves as an ideal introduction for new readers to Irving's moving and mischievous storytelling, reminiscent of his acclaimed works. Skyhorse Publishing, along with its imprints, proudly offers a diverse range of fiction, including novels, thrillers, comedy, romance, and literary classics, committed to showcasing overlooked subjects and authors whose work deserves recognition.
