名前 schazzie 題名 Ballantine Reader’s Circle Featured Book 内容 UNTIL I FIND YOU by John Irving At long last, those of us who have been counting the days for another Irving masterpiece can breath a sigh of relief. This robust and comic novel will no doubt gratify all the Irving fanatics out there (yes, I am among you). With his trademark talent for storytelling, John Irving unravels the tale of actor Jack Burns - his life, loves, celebrity and astonishing search for the truth about his parents. We learn about tattoo addiction and movie cross-dressing, "sleeping in the needles" and the cure for cauliflower ears. And John Irving renders his protagonist's unusual rise through Hollywood with the same vivid detail and range of emotions he gives to the organ music Jack hears as a child in European churches. This is an absorbing book about obsession, loss, truth and the signs we carry on us and inside us, the traces we can't get rid of. In this exclusive interview, John Irving sheds light on the fascinating tattoo culture, which is a prominent theme in this book: Q: How did you research tattoo culture? Did you visit many parlors? JI: In A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR, when I was doing research in Amsterdam with a policeman-about the details concerning the murder of a prostitute-the policeman introduced me to Amsterdam's most famous tattoo artist, Henk Schiffmacher. His tattoo name is Hanky Panky, but the police in Amsterdam used him as a handwriting analyst; he was also good at deciphering partial fingerprints. I already knew him. He was the first person I turned to for my tattoo research. Meeting Henk led me to making connections with other tattoo artists in those North Sea ports. I visited more than a dozen tattoo parlors in Europe; several in the U.S. and Canada, too, and I went to many tattoo conventions. I got two tattoos, so I knew what it felt like to be tattooed, and I learned how to tattoo. I gave a woman in Amsterdam a tattoo on her forearm. It was a sprig of holly to cover up a former boyfriend's name. She must not have liked my work, because when I met her for dinner a few years later, she had covered up my cover-up with a third tattoo. Q: Have you met any "collectors," like Jack's dad, William Burns? What do you think drives this particular obsession? JI: I have met a few collectors. They often don't know why they can't stop; the reasons vary. People are obsessed by different demons; it's impossible to generalize the motives of tattoo addicts, just as there is no single reason, medically, why many full-body types feel cold. But many of them do. Jack comes to the conclusion that his father has had the sort of life that might make anyone feel cold; maybe the tattoos have nothing to do with it.

名前 schazzie 題名 This Boy’s Life 内容 [Author]John Irving fights for his autobiographical new novel. ≪PHOTO≫─About the author: As research, Irving got a couple of tattoos, including a wrestler's circle on one arm Newsweek July 18 issue - "Until I Find You" is John Irving's 11th and most personal novel. Its protagonist, Jack Burns, believes he was abandoned by his father and was sexually abused as a child, both details straight from Irving's life. Jack's mother is a tattoo artist, his absent father an itinerant church organist with music tattooed all over him. Jack grows up to be a cross-dressing actor and an Oscar-winning screenwriter. Then his life gets upended when everything he thinks he knows about his past is proved wrong. Malcolm Jones and the novelist wrestled over the merits of the book at Irving's family vacation spot in Canada on an island─this is a pure Irving touch─that his wife's grandfather won in a poker game. ・・・全文を見る ●Listen to a clip from the audiobook version of John Irving's autobiographical new novel [49] 2005/07/31/(Sun) 18:59:49

[Review]ABOUT THIS BOOK “According to his mother, Jack Burns was an actor before he was an actor, but Jack’s most vivid memories of childhood were those moments when he felt compelled to hold his mother’s hand. He wasn’t acting then.” So begins John Irving’s eleventh novel, Until I Find You ─ the story of the actor Jack Burns. His mother, Alice, is a Toronto tattoo artist. When Jack is four, he travels with Alice to several North Sea ports; they are trying to find Jack’s missing father, William, a church organist who is addicted to being tattooed. But Alice is a mystery, and William can’t be found. Even Jack’s memories are subject to doubt. Jack Burns goes to schools in Canada and New England, but what shapes him are his relationships with older women. John Irving renders Jack’s life as an actor in Hollywood with the same richness of detail and range of emotions he uses to describe the tattoo parlors in those North Sea ports and the reverberating music Jack heard as a child in European churches. The author’s tone ─ indeed, the narrative voice of this novel ─ is melancholic. (“In increments both measurable and not, our childhood is stolen from us ─ not always in one momentous event but often in a series of small robberies, which add up to the same loss.”) Until I Find You is suffused with overwhelming sadness and deception; it is also a robust and comic novel, certain to be compared to John Irving’s most ambitious and moving work. [Author]AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY John Irving has won an O. Henry Award, a National Book Award, and an Oscar. Until I Find You is his eleventh novel. He lives in Vermont and Toronto.

名前 schazzie 題名 Best John Irving Holiday Gifts 内容 Best John Irving Holiday Gifts Hi everyone! It's been a long time since we last wrote to you, but with the holidays coming up, we thought we're send a quick reminder about your and our favorite writer. There's not much new to report, except to say keep a lookout for the brand-new trade paperback edition of A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR, coming from Ballantine Books on August 3, 2004. Now, for the real reason we're writing: we love John Irving so much that we almost always give his books as presents to family members and friends. Hardcover and trade paperback, we're got his best stuff available, bar none. So, see below for our suggestions on how to best give Irving as a holiday gift this season. Happy holidays! Your guide, Allison IN THIS ISSUE: *Hardcover Must-Haves *Perfect Paperbacks ************************** For the Holiday Enthusiast / Traditionalist: A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND OTHER STORIES, by Charles Dickens, with an Introduction by John Irving. A gorgeous Modern Library trade paperback edition of Dickens's 1843 bestseller, A CHRISTMAS CAROL has endured as a perennial Yuletide favorite. This edition includes an exclusive, all-new introduction by Irving, explaining the story's importance in his own life and that of literature. Learn more at: http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxF0AP For all Irving fans-new and old: TRYING TO SAVE PIGGY SNEED. A treat for Irving addicts and a perfect introduction to his work for the uninitiated. In this spirited collection, Irving explains how he became a writer and tells six scintillating stories, ending with homage to Charles Dickens. This collection cannot fail to delight and charm. http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxG0AQ For the spiritualist / best friend: A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY. This special Modern Library hardcover edition features an original and exclusive Introduction by Irving. In the summer of 1953, two eleven-year-old best friends are playing in a Little League baseball game in New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens next is extraordinary and terrifying. http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxH0AR For the Irving devotee / collector: the Modern Library hardcover edition of THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP. As the New Republic wrote in its review, nothing in contemporary fiction matches it Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious Brilliant, funny, and wise. I won't recount the story, since most of you know it and it nearly defies synopsis. But I will say this is the single must-get gift for any family member or friend who considers himself a true-blue Irving fan. http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxI0AS For the woman new to John Irving and / or the Oprah Book Club member: A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR. Richly comic, as well as deeply disturbing, A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR is a multilayered love story and a brilliant novel about the passage of time and grief. The Los Angeles Times Book Review wrote "The pleasures of this rich and beautiful book are manifold. To be human is to savor them." http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0KbQ0A8 For the Tobey Maguire fan / movie buff: THE CIDER HOUSE RULES. Give the gift of the original this holiday season and bestow upon your movie-obsessed loved one the real deal: the novel that inspired the movie that made Tobey a star. First published in 1985, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is Irving's sixth novel. Set in rural Maine, it tells the story of Dr. Larch, founder of the orphanage in the town of St.Cloud's, and Homer Wells, who is never adopted. http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxJ0AT ************************** Or, instead of a more expensive hardcover, consider giving your loved one a collection of Irving trade paperbacks. A slew of paperbacks are the right choice for a lot of people on your shopping list: the collector, the book club member, and the Irving newbie. All the wonderful Ballantine editions listed below come with discussion guides bound into the book and beautiful cover art. Something new that't old: THE 158 POUND MARRIAGE and THE WATER-METHOD MAN. I suggest giving these as a pair for the unique perspective they lend to Irving's oeuvre. THE 158 POUND MARRIAGE is a dark, erotic tale about a manage a quatre in a New England university town. It foreshadows what was to come in THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP. A must-have for the versed Irving reader and a new perspective on the writer's craft for the new. http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxK0AU THE WATER-METHOD MAN is Irving's second novel, written when he was twenty-nine. The main character is a graduate student with a birth defect who is about to commit himself to a second marriage that bears remarkable resemblance to his first. The New Yorker called this book, "Three or four times as funny as most novels." http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxL0AV For anyone who wants the inside scoop: THE IMAGINARY GIRLFRIEND. The Seattle Times called this book the nearest thing to an autobiography Irving has written If that doesn't catch your attention, I don't know what will. Check it out here: http://info.randomhouse.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/ecAS0DH8nv0Vo0PxM0AW ************************** We're mentioned the rest of these above in the hardcover section, so I'll just list the title and URL where you can find more information for the paperback. Remember to mix and match!
