Trying To Save Piggy Sneed cover

This collection of short writing is a treat for John Irving addicts and the perfect introduction to his work for the uninitiated. In a spirited opening piece, John Irving explains how he became a writer. There follow six scintillating stories written over the past twenty years, inlcuding The Pension Grillparzer, previously only to be found inside The World According to Garp, and now given its first independent airing.

Inventive incident, deft characterization and vivid language are all here -- Irving Weinman * The Times Literary Supplement *
