Condition: Fair. Even in the heat of battle, Geoff Fulton, a professional soldier, would always carry with him the memory of the night he was on leave, when his timely intervention rescued fourteen-year-old Lizzie from the oldest of perils for a young girl, and thereby began to change her life. Lizzie came from a desperately poor home, ruled by a slatternly stepmother only too ready to profit from setting the girl along the same sordid road as her elder sister had been made to take. The year was 1937 and the place a rural enclave of County Durham, where Geoff had been born and raised in the old farmhouse that remained the home of his parents, even though most of its land had been sold off to neighbouring Low Tarn Hall. There his father still worked as estate manager for the demanding Ernest Bradford-Brown, self-made owner of this and many another property. Anxious about his increasingly handicapped mother and seeing in Lizzie a girl of spirit, Geoff concluded that she might, with care and training, solve his problem and benefit herself. So, after a quick visit to outface the protesting Mrs Gillespie, he was soon back home with his willing proteg e. Then, in 1943, when Geoff returned wounded from the desert war, it was to find a Lizzie he hardly recognised - mature and highly attractive. For her part, she soon came to realise that he too had changed. Embittered by his experiences at war and rejected by Ernest Bradford-Brown's daughter Janis after a lengthy relationship long opposed by her irascible father, to Lizzie he now showed a ruthless streak that was at considerable odds with the caring man who had, all those years ago, rescued her from poverty and deprivation. 334 pages.

Each victim has had the tips of their fingers removed with a hacksaw. The killer is sending a message and wants his next victim to know who they are - and be very afraid. But beside the gruesome nature of their deaths there is no obvious connection between the two victims. Reuben Maitland, freshly returned to GeneCrime, must investigate the case. The forensics come in, DNA is sampled, the clues begin to mount up. Then the killer strikes again. Reuben's young son, Joshua, is snatched from his pram. The murderer sends Reuben a message: 'Stop hunting me. I will kill again, a third and final victim and you must not stop me. Come after me and your son will die.' If your child was kidnapped, how far would you go to get them back.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen, Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, Versand Büchersendung - The protagonist and first person narrator of In One Person, Billy Abbott, is bisexual. Why do you think bisexuals are rarely represented in literature Irving, John: The bisexual men I have known were not shy, nor were they 'conflicted'. (This is also true of the bisexual men I know now.) I would say, too, that both my oldest and youngest bisexual male friends are among the most confident men I have ever known. Yet bisexual men - of my generation, especially - were generally distrusted. Their gay male friends thought of them as gay guys who were hedging their bets, or holding back - or keeping a part of themselves in the closet. To most straight men, the only part of a bisexual man that registers is the gay part; to many straight women, a bi guy is doubly untrustworthy - he could leave you for another woman or for a guy! The bisexual occupies what Edmund White calls 'the interstitial - whatever lies between two familiar opposites'. I can't speculate on why other writers may choose to eschew the bisexual as a potential main character - especially as a point-of-view character (Billy Abbott is an outspoken first-person narrator). I just know that sexual misfits have always appealed to me; writers are outsiders - at least we're supposed to be 'detached'. Well, I find sexual outsiders especially engaging. There is the gay brother in The Hotel New Hampshire; there are the gay twins (separated at birth) in A Son of the Circus; there are transsexual characters in The World According to Garp and in A Son of the Circus, and now again (this time, much more developed as characters) in In One Person. I like these people; they attract me, and I fear for their safety - I worry about who might hate them and wish them harm. Great Expectations has an enormous influence on Billy in more than one respect. What are some of the books that helped to define and influence you at a young age John Irving: Like Billy, I spent some of my childhood backstage in a small-town theatre; my mother, who - in many respects - was not like Billy's mother, was a prompter in a small-town theatre. My earliest interest in storytelling came from the theatre, and I imagined myself as an actor (onstage, never in the movies) before I imagined being a novelist. But Great Expectations, and other novels by Dickens, inspired me to want to write those plotted, character-driven novels of the 19th century - also Hardy, Melville, Hawthorne; also Flaubert and Mann and the Russian writers. But before I was old enough to appreciate those novels, I saw Shakespeare and Sophocles onstage; those plays have plots. There were plots in the theatre - centuries before the earliest novels were written. Y ou do a magnificent job portraying the AIDS crisis in New York in this novel. Was it difficult for you to encapsulate this moment in history John Irving: If you mean 'difficult' in terms of research, no. Other novels have been much harder, in terms of research - in terms of having to teach myself about something foreign to me - than In One Person. But, yes, it was difficult - personally. I lived in New York City from '81 till '86; I was there at the start of the AIDS crisis, I lost friends (young and old) to that disease. I had no desire to revisit some of those memories. But I have two good friends (and fellow writers) who I knew would be reading this manuscript - over my shoulder, so to speak. I doubt I would have begun writing In One Person if I didn't know I could count on these two friends as essential readers: Edmund White and Abraham Verghese. I knew if I made a mistake, they would catch it; I have complete faith in their authority. They gave me confidence; they allowed me to write freely - they were my safety nets. In One Person features some of the classic signatures that your readers have come to expect to find in your books: wrestling, living abroad in Vienna, the loss of childhood innocence, an absent parent, New England boarding schools, sexual deviants, etc. What is it that attracts you to these themes and settings again and again John Irving: Ah, well - there are the subjects for fiction or the 'themes' you choose, and then there are the obsessions that choose you. Wrestling is something I know: I competed as a wrestler for twenty years; I coached the sport till I was forty-seven. The life in a New England boarding school, and living as a student abroad in Vienna - these are simply things I know very well. I choose them because I have no end of detail in my memory bank, regarding those oh-so-familiar things. But 'the loss of childhood innocence', or 'the absent parent', and those sexual outsiders and/or misfits I am repeatedly attracted to in my fiction - well, I do not choose to write about those things. Those things obsess me; those things choose me. You don't get to pick the nightmare that wakes you up at 4 A.M., do you That nightmare comes looking for you, again and again. What was behind your choice to make libraries such an important part of Billy Abbott's development John Irving: I love libraries. I used to read in libraries, write in libraries, hide in libraries; libraries embrace a code of silence - that was just fine with me. I went to libraries to be left alone. So much of being a writer is seeking to be alone - actually, needing to be alone. Bookstores aren't the same; they're social places. I was a fairly antisocial kid; libraries were my cave. Was your experience with writing In One Person different from your other books If so, how Did you write the last sentence first, as you're famous for doing No, not different - very much the same. I always begin with endings, with last sentences - usually more than a single last sentence, often a last paragraph (or two). I compose an ending and write toward it, as if the ending were a piece of music I can hear - however many years ahead of me it is waiting. The ending to.
