M¤rz in Exeter New Hampshire ) ist ein US-amerikanischer Romanautor John Irving wurde als John Wallace Blunt, Jr. geboren. Benannt war er nach seinem Vater, einem Kampfpiloten. Seine Mutter, Helen Francis Winslow, eine Krankenschwester, lieŸ sich jedoch schon vor der Geburt des Sohnes scheiden. Im Alter von sechs Jahren wurde der Name ge¤ndert, nachdem sein Stiefvater, Collin F. N. Irving, ein Professor f¼r russische Geschichte, ihn adoptiert hatte. Mit 14 Jahren begann John zu ringen und zu schreiben, hatte aber wegen seiner Legasthenie „Schreiben ist wie Ringen. Man braucht Disziplin und Technik. Man muss auf eine Geschichte zugehen wie auf einen Gegner.“ Irving studierte ab 1961 an der Universit¤t von Pittsburgh englische Literatur, dann, 1962/1963, zwei Semester in Wien, wo er die Idee zu seinem ersten Roman hatte: Er verbrachte seine Zeit im Tiergarten und in Kaffeeh¤usern (da es in seinem Zimmer zu kalt war), fuhr Motorrad, las Die Blechtrommel von G¼nter Grass und schrieb, davon inspiriert, sein erstes Buch

    Extractions: Irving J. Gill Irving John Gill has been widely regarded as San Diego's most prominent and innovative architect. He was born April 26, 1870, in Tully, New York. The son of a farmer, he had no formal education. He began studying architecture in the Syracuse, New York, office of Ellis G. Hall, then in Chicago under Joseph L Silsbee. In 1891 Gill worked alongside Frank Lloyd Wright at the firm Adler and Sullivan in Chicago. After arriving in San Diego in 1893, Gill experimented with many styles, won loyal clients, and made a name for himself among the community's leading citizens, Progressive and otherwise. The Arts and Crafts philosophy was just beginning to take hold in San Diego when Gill arrived, but significant Craftsman influences did not appear in his work until about 1905. The Green Dragon in La Jolla (1894), whose cottages Gill designed, drew the finest musicians from around the country to entertain both colony residents and Hotel Del Coronado visitors. In 1894, he began working on houses with Joseph Falkenham, a member of the city's Board of Public Works, many in the Queen Anne style. Falkenham left in 1895, leaving Gill to make a name for himself. He succeeded in doing so, lining up a string of prominent San Diegans as his clients and hinting at his future work in the David K. Horton house's solid lines and clean geometry in National City in 1895. In December 1896, Gill began working with William S. Hebbard, an architect with academic training who complemented Gill's lack of book learning. Their partnership was characterized by influences from the Transportation Building and the neoclassicism of the 1893 World's Fair and by many English-style houses, "from large brick mansions to half-timbered cottages, often with massive stone foundations" and paneled inside with slabs of redwood.
