Title: A Satirical Yet Very Accurate Observation Of Media Life!
Review: My good mate John down at Matilda's book store in Mount Waverley recommended this book to me and I am glad that he did. This is the first John Irving novel I have read but it won't be the last. Journalist Patrick Wallingford loses his hand to a lion at a circus and becomes a News Item himself as opposed to just reporting it.However help is 'at hand ' (no pun intended) from a skilled surgeon. Along the way Patrick beds a lot of women due mainly to his boyish charm.This book cuts very close to the bones of the our 21 st Century god "The Media" and is both entertaining , funny and very well written. Thanks a lot John !
