A Conversation with John Irving
Academic Forum 26 2008-09 A Conversation with John Irving Michael Ray Taylor, M.F.A. Professor of Mass Media Communication ABSTRACT: In an interview with John Irving, conducted via email in October 2008 for the Nashville Scene , Michael Ray Taylor asks the noted author questions about his current work, his literary legacy, the state of literature in America, and the value of Irving’s graduate training at the Iowa Writer’s Workshop. “If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love,” John Irving once wrote, “you have to find the courage to live it.” And live it he has. The author of such best-selling novels as The World According to Garp , The Hotel New Hampshire , Cider House Rules , A Prayer for Owen Meany —not to mention his screenplay adaption of Cider House Rules , for which he received an Academy Award in 2000—has become, perhaps more than any living writer, the sort of Novelist for whom the term was always capitalized a hundred years ago: a crafter of rich, complex books that not only chronicle the lives of the people who populate them, but of a generation, specifically Americans who came of age in the 1960s and ‘70s. With the same obsessive drive he once brought to wrestling—a sport in which he competed until the age of 37—the 66-year-old writer has time and again mastered the “big” novel, shaping and revising each book over a period as long as five or six years before letting it go to, more often than not, immense popular and critical acclaim. -

CRUZANDO the DOOR in the FLOOR DE JOHN IRVING CECILIA DÍAZ MARÍN Y ROSA MORILLAS SÁNCHEZ Un
HUC VENITE, PUERI, UT VIRI SITIS: CRUZANDO THE DOOR IN THE FLOOR DE JOHN IRVING CECILIA DÍAZ MARÍN Y ROSA MORILLAS SÁNCHEZ Universidad de Granada Sostiene el psiquiatra Frank Pittman (1999) en su artículo “Beware of Older Women Ahead” que, a pesar de los avances del feminismo, son mucho más frecuentes las películas en las que se emparejan un hombre maduro y una mujer joven que aquellas en la que se da el caso contrario. Sin embargo, en el filme The Door in the Floor (2004), basada en la primera parte de la novela A Widow for One Year (1998), del escritor estadounidense John Irving, aparece como uno de los temas principales la relación sexual que surge entre un adolescente y una mujer veintitrés años mayor que él. Tanto en la novela como en la película, la relación amorosa entre el muchacho y la mujer se presenta con una luz romántica e idealizada, que parece contribuir a la normalización de este tipo de romance en la gran pantalla. No obstante, de una forma mucho más tradicional que entronca directamente con el cine clásico, la mujer es castigada con el destierro, mientras que para el muchacho esta relación supone el paso al mundo adulto. It is high time we had some sexy, loving, passionate, older women in our movie mythology. (Frank Pittman 1999:63) El psicólogo David M. Buss (1989) señala varios factores que influyen tanto en hombres como en mujeres de treinta y siete países pertenecientes a continentes y culturas muy diferentes a la hora de elegir pareja: el atractivo físico, las perspectivas financieras, la ambición y laboriosidad, la falta de experiencia sexual, y la edad. -
Q and & with John Irving
To find out more visitJOHN-IRVING.COM Q and & with John Irving TO FIND OUT MORE VISIT JOHN-IRVING.COM The protagonist and first person narrator of In One Person, Billy Abbott, is bisexual. Why do you think bisexuals are rarely represented in literature? The bisexual men I have known were not shy, nor were they “conflicted.” (This is also true of the bisexual men I know now.) I would say, too, that both my old- est and youngest bisexual male friends are among the most confident men I have ever known. Yet bisexual men — of my generation, especially — were generally distrusted. Their gay male friends thought of them as gay guys who were hedg- ing their bets, or holding back — or keeping a part of themselves in the closet. To most straight men, the only part of a bisexual man that registers is the gay part; to many straight women, a bi guy is doubly untrustworthy — he could leave you for another woman or for a guy! The bisexual occupies what Edmund White calls “the interstitial — whatever lies between two familiar opposites.” I can’t specu- late on why other writers may choose to eschew the bisexual as a potential main character — especially as a point-of-view character (Billy Abbott is an outspoken first-person narrator). I just know that sexual misfits have always appealed to me; writers are outsiders—at least we’re supposed to be “detached.” Well, I find sexual outsiders especially engaging. There is the gay brother in The Hotel New Hamp- shire; there are the gay twins (separated at birth) in A Son of the Circus; there are transsexual characters in The World According to Garp and in A Son of the Circus, and now again (this time, much more developed as characters) in In One Person. -
