John Winslow Irving (n. 2 martie 1942 , Exeter ^{?( d )} , New Hampshire , SUA ) este un scriitor american, canadian.

Biografie [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

John Winslow Irving s-a n?scut ca John Wallace Blunt, Jr. , numit dup? tat?l s?u. La varsta de ?ase ani, numele a fost schimbat, dup? tat?l s?u vitreg, Colin Franklin Newell Irving, un profesor de limb? rus?, care l-a adoptat.

John Irving a fost pe rand antrenor de lupte, profesor universitar, actor, prozator ?i scenarist.

Incurajat de intalnirea pe care ?i azi o socote?te providen?ial? cu John Yount, un tan?r romancier din sudul Americii, i?i alege teme atractive, unele surprinz?toare, ?i debuteaz? cu Setting Free the Bears, un roman despre tentativa unor iubitori de animale de a elibera ur?ii de la Gr?dina zoologic? din Viena.

Cu un box-office mai bun cu fiecare titlu, public? o serie de c?r?i care fie cunosc transpuneri cinematografice de calitate (The World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules), fie r?man borne epice ale unui palmares elogiat de revistele literare (The Water-Method Man, The 159-Pound Marriage, A Prayer for Owen Meany, A Son of the Circus, A Widow for One Year).

C?r?ile lui Irving demonteaz? tabuuri dragi societ??ii americane, propun personaje greu de uitat ?i radiografiaz? o via?? la care mul?i ravnesc f?r? s?-i cunoasc? dedesubturile.
