A Widow For One Year - Book Report

I just finished this John Irving classic. I'll have to go to Amazon.com soon and get some more now that I've read all of the books of his I have on my shelf. In this story damn near everyone is a writer. In some ways it's like a textbook for writers. As usual, by the time you're in a chapter or two John has a cast of characters developed that you already know very well. He is the master of characters.

You know I don't like to give any of these stories away. You can find other reviews where folks divulge such information (just search the internets). It's fiction, there's some sex, pain, suffering, life, Amsterdam sex, in that order. Recommend = absolutely. Great story, superbly told.
