Mr. Irving has been nominated for a National Book Award three times—winning once, in 1980, for his novel The World According to Garp. He received an O. Henry Award in 1981 for his short story “Interior Space.” In 2000, Mr. Irving won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules.

An international writer—his novels have been translated into more than thirty-five languages—John Irving lives in Toronto. His all-time best-selling novel, in every language, is A Prayer for Owen Meany.
Avenue of Mysteries is his fourteenth novel.
This acadamy-award winning screenplay by John Irving was written over a fourteen year period and is the companion screenplay to the Miramax film, co-starring Michael Caine, who won the Acadmy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dr.Wilbur Larch.
The Cider House Rules is set in rural Maine in the first half of this century. It tells the story of Homer Wells, an orphan who is raised and mentored by Wilbur Larch, the doctor at the orphanage. Dr. Larch teaches Homer eveything about medicine. Yet though his capacity for kindness is saintly, Larch is also an ether addict. He and Homer come into conflict, which is typical of many father-son relationships, but in this case, their conflict is intensified by their disagreements about abortion. The result is Homer leaves the only family he has ever known.
Homer's new life provides more excitement than he could have imagined, especially when he falls in love for the first time. But, when forced to make decisions that will change the course of his future, Homer finally realizes that he can't escape his past. The Cider House Rules is ultimately about the choices we make and the rules that are meant to be broken.

管理整個孤兒院的韋爾伯拉奇醫生,對孤兒荷馬威爾士的情愫,實際上有一絲隱隱約約的同性之愛。 約翰歐文用瞭很多篇章來描述拉奇醫生對荷馬的愛,但是讀者很容易會把拉奇醫生對荷馬的情愫看成是一種師徒之愛,或者是父子之愛,因為荷馬醫術精湛,是拉奇醫生的得意門生,而拉奇醫...
評分近期我看瞭一部鴻篇巨製的小說——約翰•歐文的《蘋果酒屋的規則》,這本書有七百多頁,五十萬字,從一九二零年代寫起,跨越五六十年的曆史,寫瞭三代人的悲歡離閤。 書中人物眾多,三代人有數十個人,但因為歐文擅長講故事,人物性格和命運被他刻畫得非常真實可信,情感又細...
評分約翰歐文的書幾乎都讀過,唯有這本蘋果酒屋隻看瞭電影。聽同樣喜歡歐文的朋友講起,說這是她唯一讀不下去的歐文。可是這是唯一在豆瓣裏找得到的中文譯本。不知道其他那些歐文有沒有翻譯成中文過,也許現在不賣瞭?比如說《寡居一年》《為歐恩米尼祈禱》《蓋普的世界》《新罕布...
評分世界風雲變幻,人們愛來愛去,而他始終是這個美麗世界的孤兒。 倫理學認為,幾乎所有倫理問題的産生往往都與倫理身份有關。這種身份猶如一種烙印,從聖剋勞茲孤兒院一齣生就刻在身上,諷刺的是,我們今天大加談論的所謂原生傢庭,其實孤兒院裏的孩子深諳其苦,他們生來不會放肆...

評分from ~6.20| when you read a brief history of St. Cloud's and read about his elaborate plan to exempt Homer from military draft as well as to resurrect Fuzzy Stone you realize Dr. Larch was a much deeper character than Homer who like most of John's protagonist was lovable but a bit bland a novel of his grandfather's generation
評分2015.01.06 ~ 2015.02.11 不愧是我最愛的小說之一,再讀依舊數度淚目。
