He hates his job as a journalist because journalism is not what it used to be - it's smutty. The premise is this: Wallingford loses his hand to a lion. I don't want to read a Harlequin romance novel." I suppose it's up to the reader to make a judgement call on that one - I will just say that I after a while I was thinking 'okay, Irving. The book was plastered with sexuality, and some would say sexual perversion. The novel is really a different type of love story where Patrick finally falls in love with a women who is not just some girl who wants to sleep with him (he's basically what some term as 'easy' and just waits to be approached by women because he's so good looking). This book is about Patrick Wallingford, a ladies man and a journalist that loses his hand. I'm not going to say much about this book except that it pales in comparison to both "The World According to Garp" and "A Prayer for Owen Meany", both books I absolutely loved. you find it out in the first chapter or two which leads me to believe that I've read a portion of this book before and put it down before completion. I must have known somehow about how Patrick Wallingford lost his left hand prior to my post a couple of weeks ago on the opening line from the novel.
Author's Original Name: John Wallace Blunt, Jr.
