John Irving

A longtime friend of the Poetry Center, John Irving returns to 92Y to read from his new novel, In One Person. "This tender exploration of nascent desire, of love and loss, manages to be sweeping, brilliant, political, provocative, tragic and funny—it is precisely the kind of astonishing alchemy we associate with a John Irving novel," wrote Abraham Verghese. "A profound truth is arrived at in these pages. It is Irving at his most daring, at his most ambitious."
