Описание: John Irving, it is abundantly clear, is a true artist.--Los Angeles Times

Fred Bogus Trumper has troubles. A divorced, broke graduate student of Old Norse in 1970s New York, Trumper is a wayward knight-errant in the battle of the sexes and the pursuit of happiness: His ex-wife has moved in with his childhood best friend, his life is the subject of a tell-all movie, and his chronic urinary tract infection requires surgery.

Trumper is determined to change. Theres only one problem: it seems the harder he tries to alter his adolescent ways, the more he is drawn to repeating the mistakes of the past. . . .

Written when Irving was twenty-nine, Trumpers tale of woe is told with all the wit and humor that would become Irvings trademark.

Three or four times as funny as most novels.--The New Yorker

Praise for The Water-Method Man

Friendship, marriage, and family are his primary themes, but at that blundering level of life where mishap and folly--something close to joyful malice--perpetually intrude and distrupt, often fatally. Life, in John] Irvings fiction, is always under siege. Harm and disarray are daily fare, as if the course of love could not run true. . . . Irvings multiple manner . . . his will to come at the world from different directions, is one of the outstandint traits of The World According to Garp, but this remarkable flair for . . . stories inside stories . . . isalready handled with mastery . . . and with a freedom almost wanton in The Water-Method Man which is Garps predecessor by six years].--Terrence Des Pres

Brutal reality and hallucination, comedy and pathos. A rich, unified tapestry.--Time
