From the author of "The Cider House Rules" and "The World According to Garp" comes a novel filled with comedy, chaos, and sharp observation.

I'm a huge fan of John Irving's. This is his 2nd book, I believe-after Hotel New Hampshire.

Book Description
The main character of John Irving's second novel, written when the author was twenty-nine, is a perpetual graduate student with a birth defect in his urinary tract--and a man on the threshold of committing himself to a second marriage that bears remarkable resemblance to his first....
"Three or four times as funny as most novels."

Classic John Irving. Like World According to Garp features a thoroughly developed and fascinating character in Bogus Trumper.
