Near the middle of reading a 900 pg. novel by #JOHNIRVING called #TheLastChairlift. Far from his BEST work, but I'm too far down the road to turn back now. lolz

Has anyone read Queen Esther by John Irving?
I'm so disappointed. I'm a huge Irving fan but this one needs an editor.

Da spricht Peter Mohr auf #literaturkritik ganz klar eine Warnung vor dem neuen Buch von #JohnIrving aus. Aber andererseits: Darf man Kritiker*innen immer vollends trauen?

It's that time when people post their annual #favourites among the good stuff of life we've read, listened to or experienced. I read well this year, and these two tomes from @patrickryannyc.bsky.social and #JohnIrving connected with me. United by orphans, Ryan reminds me, a bit, of Irving. #Booksky
Mon défi pour 2025 : #unjourunlivreunauteur
Aujourd'hui, avant une petite pause vacances d'une semaine, deuxième passage pour l'un de mes auteurs préférés, créateur d'histoires incroyables. Bonne journée, les amis ! #JohnIrving

In „Königin Esther“ setzt John Irving eher auf Essay als Emotion: viele Diskurse, wenig erzählerische Spannung. Ein anspruchsvolles, aber distanziertes Alterswerk.
