Trying to Save Piggy Sneed


Here is a treat for John Irving addicts and a perfect introduction to his work for the uninitiated.&nbsp;&nbsp;To open this spirited collection, Irving explains how he became a writer.&nbsp;&nbsp;There follow six scintillating stories written over the last twenty years ending with a homage to Charles Dickens.&nbsp;&nbsp;This irresistible collection cannot fail to delight and charm. <p>This gem, a delightful collection of shorter works, both fiction and nonfiction, written by one of the country's finest--and funniest--writers, includes a living portrait of Irving's grandmother, a new, never-before-published essay, six scintillating short stories--including the O. Henry Award-winning "Interior Space"--and two essays on Irving's favorite 19th-century novelist, Charles Dickens. Trying to Save Piggy Sneed is John Irving at the top of his form.
