Description

NAs we grow older - most of all, in what we remember and what we dream - we live in the past. Sometimes, we live more vividly in the past than in the present. As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but his dreams and memories will travel with him; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico. An aura of fate had marked him, John Irving writes. The chain of events, the links in our lives - what leads us where we re going, the courses we follow to our ends, what we don t see coming, and what we do - all this can be mysterious, or simply unseen, or even obvious. Avenue of Mysteries is the story of what happens to Juan Diego in the Philippines, where what happened to him in the past - in Mexico - collides with his future.

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. In 2013, he won a Lambda Literary Award for his novel In One Person. An international writer - his novels have been translated into more than thirty-five languages - John Irving lives in Toronto.
