John Irving,
has a new novel coming out,
on May 8Th!!!!
How cool is that?
a week before,
my birthday,
I know what I’m getting myself,
for my birthday:-)
The ‘old’ man is looking good,
seems to be in fine form,
for someone who will soon,
be turning,
seventy!!!
Way to rock the shirt, he’s so butch:-)
His new novel,
In One Person,
is the story of a bisexual man,
Billy Abbott,
through the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s
and into the AIDS crisis of the 80’s.
Abbott is a writer,
in New England,
who wrestles.
Sounds familiar to Irving fans, that bugs some people, familiarity, I’m not one of those people.
Also present are,
quintessential,
Irvingesque elements,
Vienna,
sexual suspect-ness,
etc.
I don’t want to,
read too much about it,
spoil the punch,
it will be great,
coming right after,
my re-reading of,
Cider House Rules,
which I’m still,
working my way through.
Smells like,
a John Irving Summer,
complex,
woodsy,
with a touch of citrus,
and,
danger.
Hmm authors as cologne,
could be a fun game,
Hemingway?
Bay rum,
all the way:-)
Later girls,
BB
