John Irving was born John Wallace Blunt, Jr in Exeter, New Hampshire, in unusual circumstances that have since fueled the plots and themes of several of his novels: his mother Helen, a descendant of the Winslows, one of New England's oldest and most distinguished families, divorced Irving's biological father when he was two years old. The family maintained a strict silence regarding his natural father. Helen Winslow later married Colin F.N. Irving, a teacher at the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy when Irving was six years old. John Wallace Blunt, Jr became John Winslow Irving, taking his adoptive father's name. Until the mid 2000s, he never sought the identity of his biological father- "I already have a father," he said. In 2001 he discovered he had a half brother from his biological father's second marriage.

What are these? Saturday, 7 July 2001 Irving is rightly convinced of the entertainment value of sex, and has consistently offered his readers a generous portfolio of vivid images that simultaneously celebrate and deflate the subject. Desultory sexual exploration has provided good belly-laughs, from hiding under a dormitory bed while two teachers cavort on top to Patrick Wallingford, statuesque hero of this latest novel, hammering away on top of a decrepit feminist in a Kyoto hotel amid a shriek of schoolgirls celebrating National Prayer Week. Why is it funny? Because it's larger than life. Why is it compelling? Because Irving's characters learn sympathetically. Take Eddie O'Hare, who spends the first 100 pages of Irving's last huge novel

Education Events Calendar Foliage NH People ... Weddings New Hampshire People John Winslow Irving is the best-selling author of The World According to Garp The Hotel New Hampshire , the Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany . Irving was born in Exeter, NH, on March 2, 1942, and is a graduate of that town's Phillips Exeter Academy. He attended the University of Pittsburgh, then graduated Cum Laude from the University of New Hampshire in Durham. His first novel, Setting Free the Bears , was published when he was only 26. But the book fizzled, and Irving's two follow-up books The Water Method Man and The 158-pound Marriage didn't really get much attention either. He took a position as assistant professor of English at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass., in 1975. Irving's fourth novel, The World According to Garp , became an international bestseller and later a film starring Robin Williams and Glenn Close. It was also a finalist for the American Book Award for hardcover fiction in 1979. The film was nominated for several Academy Awards. Suddenly Mr. Irving was a household name. His next book
