21. Review | The Fourth Hand By John Irving
By Tony Buchsbaum. January Magazine A review of The Fourth Hand.
http://www.januarymagazine.com/fiction/fourthhand.html
The Fourth Hand by John Irving Published by Random House 316 pages, 2001 Buy it online No Hand For Irving Reviewed by Tony Buchsbaum There are things I look forward to. Seeing my kids at the end of the day. The new CD by a favorite singer. A new book by an admired author. The new John Irving novel, The Fourth Hand , fell neatly into this latter category. I was reading his last novel, A Widow For One Year, when I became aware of the new one and I was loving it. Widow ranks among, I think, Irving's best books, the best of which is The World According To Garp. Conversely, The Fourth Hand belongs on the opposite end of the Irving spectrum. Where Garp and Widow present an almost endless number of fascinating characters whom we follow through many years and many (mis)adventures, The Fourth Hand limits itself to a small group of people, none of whom is particularly interesting. The premise is a compelling one. Patrick Wallingford, a supremely handsome 24-hour news reporter, is in India, doing a piece about a circus. At one point, a lion grabs his microphone and swallows it down while Patrick's hand is holding it. This leaves Patrick flawed in a way that's pretty tough to hide and presents Irving with ample opportunities to show us just how tough a hide Patrick really has. Because Patrick is a celebrity (inasmuch as the general public knows who he is), news of the accident makes him even more of one. And so a woman in Green Bay has her husband a man with the somehow unlikely name of Otto agree that if anything should happen to him, she would have his permission to take his hand and donate it to the needy Patrick. As luck would have it, something does happen to poor Otto: Green Bay loses the Super Bowl, and Otto shoots himself.

Biography
American novelist, the best-selling author of acclaimed novels including "A Prayer for Owen Meaney," "The Cider House Rules," "The Hotel New Hampshire" and "The World According to Garp." Irving grew up in the posh private prep school of Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, where his step-father taught in the History Department. His birth father, a flier in the Air Force, was shot down over Burma in WW II and survived, yet his whereabouts remained a mystery. His mother was a counselor of abused families at a community services center. "My mother remarried when I was six, and I liked - loved the man she married so well that I resented it when people referred to him as my step-father." Irving was a poor student whose dyslexia caused him to be evaluated by the school psychiatrist, who forced him to spend five years in high school to make up for low grades. After reading "Great Expectations" by Dickens, Irving wished he had written it, the spark that made him want to be a writer.

      Irving John Gill (1870-1936)
      Irving John Gill has been widely regarded as San Diego's most prominent and innovative architect. He was born April 26, 1870, in Tully, New York. The son of a farmer, he had no formal education. He began studying architecture in the Syracuse, New York, office of Ellis G. Hall, then in Chicago under Joseph L Silsbee. In 1891 Gill worked alongside Frank Lloyd Wright at the firm Adler and Sullivan in Chicago. After arriving in San Diego in 1893, Gill experimented with many styles, won loyal clients, and made a name for himself among the community's leading citizens, Progressive and otherwise. The Arts and Crafts philosophy was just beginning to take hold in San Diego when Gill arrived, but significant Craftsman influences did not appear in his work until about 1905. The Green Dragon in La Jolla (1894), whose cottages Gill designed, drew the finest musicians from around the country to entertain both colony residents and Hotel Del Coronado visitors. In 1894, he began working on houses with Joseph Falkenham, a member of the city's Board of Public Works, many in the Queen Anne style. Falkenham left in 1895, leaving Gill to make a name for himself. He succeeded in doing so, lining up a string of prominent San Diegans as his clients and hinting at his future work in the David K. Horton house's solid lines and clean geometry in National City in 1895.

IRVING, John A Widow for One Year (Amsterdam), Anthos, (1998). The first Dutch edition and the first trade edition, preceded only by the limited advance issue of the British edition. Apparently, like the main character in the novel an American novelist with an affinity for Amsterdam, who arranges to have the first edition of her new book published in the Netherlands prior to its issuance in her home country Irving requested this publication sequence. The reason for an advance English edition preceding the Dutch edition reportedly had to do with the fact that the Dutch books were printed in England, and the advance English copies were released while the printed books were enroute to the Netherlands. Scarce: it can be assumed that the publication of an English-language edition in a non-English speaking country with a population 1/20th that of the U.S. would be done in very small numbers. Signed by the author . It's been years since we've seen one of these offered for sale, and that copy wasn't signed. Fine in a fine dust jacket. From the collection of Bruce Kahn. SOLD All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.

IRVING, John Trying to Save Piggy Sneed (Toronto), Knopf Canada, (1993). The first Canadian edition of his first collection of short pieces, published after the British edition (or possibly simultaneously; we've heard conflicting stories). Both precede the expanded American edition, which was published in 1996. Inscribed by Irving to his editor, Harvey Ginsberg : "For Harvey, who never got his pencil on any of these...and they are less good, as a result. Love, John." Trace foxing to top edge; else fine in a fine dust jacket. An excellent literary association copy, one of the best we have seen for a John Irving title: Ginsberg edited The Cider-House Rules and five subsequent novels by Irving, even continuing on a freelance basis after Irving left William Morrow publishing company, where Ginsberg worked.

Description
In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable’s girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County—to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto—pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them. In a story spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River depicts the recent half-century in the United States as “a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.” What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author’s unmistakable voice—the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.

Pr sentation biographique et critique.

John Irving naît le 2 mars 1942 en Nouvelle Angleterre. Il vit chez sa grand-mère à Exeter, dans le New Hampshire, jusqu'à l'âge de 7 ans où il emménage chez son beau-père. Il n'a en effet pas connu son père (comme Garp, comme Homer Wells…) et lorsqu'il parle de "son père" dans ses mémoires, il s'agit du mari de sa mère, qui enseignait l'histoire russe dans une école privée à Exeter. C'est là qu'Irving fera ses études secondaires; il précisera plus tard à ce sujet: «Dire que j'avais du mal à suivre relèverait de la litote». John Irving souffrait de dyslexie et donc d'une très mauvaise orthographe.
Passionné de lutte, il choisit son université surtout en fonction de son équipe et de son entraîneur dans ce sport. Il fait des études médiocres (il passait beaucoup trop de temps à lire) mais il est cependant admis à suivre un cours de "création littéraire".
Le monde selon Garp et
C'est la naissance de Colin, en mars 1965, qui évite à John Irving de partir au Vietnam - mais ne l'empêchera pas de continuer son sport préféré, la lutte. Mais, ajoute-t-il: " …ma condition d'homme marié, de père, et mon retour à la lutte me tinrent à l'écart des deux expériences les plus séduisantes qui aient marqué les années soixante: le sexe et la drogue.". On ne s'étonnera donc pas de trouver peu de sexe et peu de drogue dans la plupart de ses romans: le Docteur Larch, dans
