Trying to Save Piggy Sneed | John Irving

Pick

I enjoyed this compilation of short works by Irving. The nonfiction bits were my favorites, oddly, especially the title piece and the Dickens pieces. The “author‘s notes” to the last selection, where he talks about meeting Thomas Mann‘s daughter on an airplane is also great. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

Megabooks I want to read more by him. #stacked 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2mo

Lcsmcat @Megabooks My favorite (so far) is Prayer for Owen Meany, but I have liked everything of his that I‘ve read. 2mo

Irving, writing about Vienna in the 1960s. But it could be the US in the present day.
