John Irving (1942 ), author and wrestler, is one of America's most widely-read novelists. His writing, says Peter Matthiessen, "has a sense of myth and time and weight and resonance. He's certainly not just 'a good plot man'. He's probably the great storyteller of American literature today."

He studied at universities in America and Europe and published his first novel SETTING FREE THE BEARS, at the age of twenty-six. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, published in 1978 to phenomenal acclaim, firmly established him as one of the most inventive and talented novelists in America. During the 1980s John Irving wrote a series of absorbing and celebrated books: THE HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES and A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY. In these novels his originality and striking vision came brilliantly to the fore, along with his trademark subjects - as wide-ranging as feminism, religion, wrestling, sex and New England life. More recent novels include the complex bestseller A SON OF THE CIRCUS, the dark and funny novel A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR and THE FOURTH HAND, a black comedy that was another popular success.

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

He was educated at the University of Pittsburgh and University of New Hampshire, and also attended the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop where one of his teachers was Kurt Vonnegut. His first novel, SETTING FREE THE BEARS, was published in 1968. THE WATER-METHOD MAN was his second novel (1972), followed by THE 158-POUND MARRIAGE (1974), HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE (1981), CIDER HOUSE RULES (1985), A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY (1989), and A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR (1998) among others. His novel, A SON OF THE CIRCUS (1995), was arguably his most different and difficult. Irving's least "American" novel, A SON OF THE CIRCUS deals with issues of identity. Ever present, though, are many of John Irving's favorite (and unusual) motifs and themes - dwarfs, prostitutes, lust, moral offense, faith. John Irving fans will once again enjoy his amusing characters and their outrageous pursuits. He and his wife, Janet, and their three sons live in Toronto and southern Vermont.

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.
