History of the Administration Building in Balboa Park
by Richard Amero
Admirers of the architecture of Irving Gill claim he designed the Administration Building, located at the east end of Cabrillo Bridge, for the Panama-California Exposition, held in Balboa Park in 1915-16. Despite a superficial resemblance of this building with buildings, designed by Gill, available evidence does not substantiate the claim that he conceived the building. Correspondence between landscape architect John Charles Olmsted and architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and newspaper articles describe events leading up to the completion of the building. Olmsted had received a contract, December 9, 1910, to lay out a site plan for the Panama-California Exposition. He chose a site north of Russ High School at the south center border of Balboa Park. The Exposition Corporation signed the contract spelling out Goodhue's and Gill's responsibilities, January 30, 1911. The Corporation was to pay Goodhue up to $15,000 and Gill $7,500, after Goodhue submitted bills. Gill would furnish working drawings for either an auditorium or a fine arts building and for other buildings, as Goodhue directed. He would also allow Goodhue to use his office, draftsmen and equipment. Although the contract did not give Gill a title, Exposition officials referred to him as an "associate." San Diego Union reporters called him an "assistant."

JOHN IRVING
"If my ideas mattered to me, I wouldn't write novels. I'm not an intellectual; I'm a carpenter - I build stories." Birthplace

New Hampshire, US
Education
Other jobs

After combining teaching with writing, The World According to Garp allowed him to become a full-time author.
Did you know?
Irving is a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Critical verdict Irving has many fans and a reasonable critical profile; he is quick to stress his literary shortcomings and ascribes his tragicomic rollercoaster epics to hard graft (he is "not very talented, not at all 'naturally endowed'... I don't think I write better than my fellow writers, but I believe I rewrite better. I work longer hours" - his dyslexia means that when reading he has to "mouth every word") and characterisation ("a simple aim of the 19th-century novel... I'm a very old-fashioned novelist. I write 19th-century novels, where a lot of rules apply." However, his novels carry this painstaking revision lightly.

John Wheelwright hat einen etwas sonderbaren Freund: Owen Meany ist winzigklein, hat eine Stimme, als würde er ständig in Großbuchstaben sprechen, unvergesslich schrill.
Wer sein Vater war, wusste John nicht. Seine Mutter hatte immer ein Geheimnis daraus gemacht. Als sie eines Abends mit einem neuen Mann nach Hause kommt, gewinnt dieser nicht nur ihr Herz, sondern auch das des Sohnes. Owens Eltern bearbeiten einen Steinbruch. Er spricht nicht gerne über seine Eltern, hält sich auch lieber bei John auf als zu Hause. So trifft ihn der Tod dessen Mutter doppelt hart - schließlich war er es auch, der an diesem Tod die Schuld trug.

  • Join a Discussion on Books By MEL GUSSOW unning through John Irving's novels is the theme of lost children and absent parents: from the unknown father in "The World According to Garp" to "The Cider House Rules," in which "all the parents are missing." In Irving's new novel, "A Widow for One Year," a mother, severely depressed by the accidental death of her two sons, disappears for 37 years. A pivotal line in the book says, "The grief of lost children never dies." As Irving talked about his work and himself he was brought up by his mother and stepfather and has never known his real father it was clear that this theme cuts deeply into his own life, too. Up to now, the subject of his father has been a closed book, at least publicly. These thoughts gradually emerged in a series of recent conversations at his home in southern Vermont and later at Middlebury College, where he read from his new novel, due out next month from Random House. Although his books often have their roots in events and emotions in his life and that of his family, he said, they sharply diverge from specifics. In using himself in his fiction, he said, "you can become tyrannized by the authenticity of what you remember." He is never tyrannized by the authenticity of what he imagines.

I like being able to say that, as if he and I were close friends back then and regularly sat side by side in one of the literary taverns of Iowa City. Some of the other people in town those days were Raymond Carver, John Irving, Gail Godwin, Ann Birstein, Frederick Exley. J.P. Donleavy came to lecture and was uproariously funny. Ray Carver came over to my house for dinner one time and got drunk. We were very jolly. Cheever arrived in class dressed in khaki slacks and loafers, sockless. He told wonderful stories but I hardly knew him at all. We did sometimes, as a class, meet in taverns. We smoked and drank. This was what I had in common with them. Talent was another matter. Cheever had heart problems and 10 years later he died. But first he wrote

    als gebrauchtes Buch bestellen Fazit: Ein weiterer Irving-Klassiker - genial melancholisch bis humorvoll. Taschenbuchausgabe (12,90 EUR) Compact Disc (16,36 EUR) ... (14,90 EUR) John Irving-Fans dürfte es wohl kaum verwundern, daß Witwe für ein Jahr eine weitläufige Mischung aus Farce und Tragödie ist, in der es nur so wimmelt von Schriftstellern. Gleich zu Beginn ertappt die 4jährige Ruth Cole ihre melancholische Mutter Marion in flagranti mit dem 16jährigen Eddie, nachdem dieser Ted Ruths liebestollen Vater, dessen Ehe mit Marion nur noch auf dem Papier existiert nach einer von Teds Sauftouren wieder einmal nach Hause gefahren hat. Äußerst gelungen ist die Figur der Ruth, Irvings erste weibliche Hauptfigur. In beiden Rollen der des phantasievollen Kindes, das in dem Versuch, mit seiner Familie ins reine zu kommen, stark an die Werke Salingers erinnert, und der der Erwachsenen, die die Beweggründe ihrer Mutter zu verstehen oder diese zumindest zu ergründen sucht ist sie eine wahre Glanzleistung. Ted ist eine beißend-lustige Karikatur, dessen finstere Art und selbstgerechtes Verhalten in den unmöglichsten Situationen mysteriös und verständlich zugleich wirken. Eddie ist ein liebenswerter Schelm, doch ohne Weichzeichner gezeichnet.

    John Irving John Irving visste tidigt att han ville skriva romaner. Han ser sig själv som en relativt tråkig person som lever ett relativt tråkigt liv och han säger att en bra historia inte behöver bygga på egna erfarenheter utan vad som krävs är god fantasi. Han gör alltid en mycket noggrann research innan han börjar på en roman. Innan han skrev Cirkusens son , som utspelar sig i Indien reste han dit och besökte allt från barnhem till bordeller. Han har dock etablerat ett säkerhetsnät av "expertläsare" som gör det möjligt för honom att beskriva världar som inte är hans egna.

    56. "Plot As Repetition: John Irving's Narrative Experiments."
    By Debra Shostak. A paper about sorrow and plot in irving's novels.
    http://www.eiu.edu/~multilit/english2205-fall99/garp/criticalread.htm
    "Plot as repetition: John Irving's narrative experiments." By DEBRA SHOSTAK Sorrow floats. So claims the narrator of John Irving's novel, The Hotel New Hampshire (1981). Sorrow is the flatulent Labrador retriever who dies but does not disappear, the free-floating dog of anxiety whose remains come to the surface even after the airplane he rides in plunges into the sea. Sorrow is the return of the repressed, punning reminder and even cause of the violence that is our human lot (one of his postmortem appearances sends a family member into cardiac arrest), and his visitations provide a symbolic structure for John Berry's narration of the Berry family's lives. Irving's comments about how he plots his novels are telling: I have last chapters in my mind before I see first chapters. . . . I usually begin with endings, with a sense of aftermath, of dust settling, of epilogue. I love plot, and how can you plot a novel if you don't know the ending first? How do you know how to introduce a character if you don't know how he ends up? You might say I back into a novel. All the important discoveriesat the end of a book- -those are the things I have to know before I know where to begin. (Hansen 79-80) His teleological sense of plot, and particularly the way a beginning can develop toward the already-known ending, can be elucidated with the help of Peter Brooks's Freudian theorizing about narrative desire, detailed in Reading for the Plot. Brooks figures the narrative text as a psychic entity, a mind (90), and subjects the text's desire the mechanics of choice in plottingto psychoanalytic scrutiny. Among Brooks's central concerns are conventions of beginnings and endings. Because narrative desire is ultimately desire for the end, reading practices have often looked to closure for narrative meaning. In investigating the inevitable relationship between the sense of a beginning and the sense of an ending (94), Brooks finds in the primacy given to endings an "apparent paradox,"

Hierher kommen vor allem die verzweifelten Frauen - die einen, die ihre Kinder hier lassen, und die anderen, die sie abtreiben lassen wollen.

    Am Ende dieses Sommers verließ die Mutter Mann und Kind (und auch Eddie), um 37 Jahre lang nichts mehr von sich hören zu lassen. Sie nahm auch alle Bilder der beiden Söhne mit - die toten Kinder für sie, das Lebende für den Vater.

    Lead: LEAD: The first thing to know about John Irving as his new book, ''A Prayer for Owen Meany,'' climbs the best-seller charts, is that, as he puts it, ''I am not John Wheelwright.''
    Text: The first thing to know about John Irving as his new book, ''A Prayer for Owen Meany,'' climbs the best-seller charts, is that, as he puts it, ''I am not John Wheelwright.'' John Wheelwright is the first-person narrator of ''Owen Meany,'' whose namesake, in turn, is the diminutive, Christlike hero of Mr. Irving's novel of religious revelation in a small New England town. John Wheelwright is a man who, in revulsion at the supposed moral bankruptcy of America, goes to Toronto -where Mr. Irving lives part of the year. But despite the similarities of name and geography, the creator of the fictional John calls him a ''permanent crank'' who lives ''a kind of champagne cork disgruntlement at every political activity of the United States.'' Mr. Irving dismisses assumptions that the character is his own polemical mouthpiece. ''I wouldn't be playing fair if I did not admit to sharing some of his opinions emotionally, but the point about Johnny Wheelwright is that he has no distance; he has no perspective,'' Mr. Irving said. ''He is puerile. His sense of political outrage is strictly emotional.'' Creations 'on the Edge'
