By the time I noticed John Irving on the IFOA schedule, I had already bought tickets for a Humber Writers' Circle on Sunday morning and the GG Finalists event on Monday night. What a shame that I had to miss it - John Irving, and in particular A Prayer for Owen Meany, is one of my big influences. What I particularly like about that book is that you read about a number of individually insignificant events, and enjoy them as entertaining anecdotes, but then they come together in a powerful and surprising climax (I have tried to do this in my book, now called The 29th Day. Hopefully, the people reviewing Version 2 will be able to tell me whether I have achieved my goal or not!) Knowing that John Irving always writes his last sentence first (what an interesting fact!), I will be tempted to read the last sentence first when I get to Last Night in Twisted River, just so I can see the theme developing through the book!
