7/5/2023 0 Comments The fourth hand book review![]() ![]() Sadly, that was the case for both of Irving's last two books - the abysmal Until I Find You, and the mediocre The Fourth Hand. Even if the new book is legitimately terrible, it's still not easy to read someone you admire getting trashed by snooty reviewers. So I couldn't be more excited to read Twisted River! But when a favorite novelist publishes something new, I'm always a little bit apprehensive, as well. I've been a huge, huge John Irving fan since I stumbled across The Cider House Rules several years ago, and I've since read just about everything he's published, including A Prayer for Owen Meany and A Widow For One Year, which are two of my all-time favorite books. Forget Dan Brown and Stephen King, and with apologies to the late Senator Kennedy (whose memoir came out in September), in my mind, the fall publishing season hits its crescendo tomorrow with the release of the new John Irving novel - Last Night in Twisted River. ![]()
