And I don’t want to begin something, I don’t want to write that first sentence until all the important connections in the novel are known to me. As if the story has already taken place, and it’s my responsibility to put it in the right order to tell it to you (John Irving Quotes)

I love John Irving’s stuff. It’s that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It’s really terrific (John Irving Quotes)
