A Widow for One YearInterviewsWhy I Wrote The Fourth Hand When I Wrote ItMy sixth novel,The Cider House Rules, was published in 1985,by which time I had already started my seventh, A Prayer for Owen Meany.That year I also began writing the screenplay of Cider House, for which (fifteen years later)I would win an Academy Award.But the first draft of that screenplay was a nine-hour movie;it wouldn 't have won anybody an Oscar.Rewriting is what I do best as a writer.I spend more time revis- ing a novel or a screenplay than I take to write the first raft.And 1985 marked the beginning of what has been,to date,a seventeen- year-old habit --namely,writing at least one screenplay concurrently with whatever novel I am writing.Nothing has helped my process of revision more. —Read more> An Interview With John Irving"Interviewer Harvey Ginsberg has been John Irving's close friend and editor for more than fifteen years. He edited the manuscripts of Mr. Irving's last four novels, beginning with The Cider House Rules, and including A Prayer for Owen Meany, A Son of the Circus, and A Widow for One Year. Here he talks to John Irving about A Widow For One Year"—By Harvey Ginsberg on Book Browse |
