John Irving became a wrestler and a writer at the same time. And he talks in this memoir about both, his career as a halfway decent wrestler and then a respected coach and his years of learning who to write and then as a teacher of a creative writing course. He also speaks about his coaches, his fellow writers and his sons, with tons of affection for all of them.
John Irving has a reputation for writing long and complicated novels. This memoir is the opposite. It is simple, short and joyful. A very touching memoir.
