Michael, thank you so much for writing the above. Tom and John are also two of my
favorite authors, and I'm especially delighted to learn that Tom has published
something new! I've been smitten with his writing since "Even Cowgirls Get the
Blues," which I first read while living in North Dakota in the late '70s -- and can I
tell you that was one of the few times I was glad I was living on those frozen plains,
because it gave me a better visual for the "Rubber Rose Ranch."
It's difficult to pick a favorite Irving book, but "A Prayer for Owen Meany" stands
out.
I'll be heading to the bookstore soon!
