Summary

John Irving: The Fourth Hand

When television reporter Patrick Wallingford, a specialist in bizarre sensations, has his left hand bitten off by a circus lion on camera, he himself will become the news. The report, broadcast a hundred times on all the world's stations, will trigger an unusual avalanche of interconnected events.

Doctor Nicholas M Zajac, a surgeon who dreams of performing the first successful hand transplant operation, will see Patrick as the media's ideal patient. Doris Clausen will persuade her husband Otto to bequeath her hand to an unfortunate journalist whom she has never met, even though her husband is alive and well at that moment.
Having properly shuffled the deck of cards for his three protagonists, John Irving will play a masterful literary game in his tenth novel The Fourth Hand with an omniscient biased ironic style. House Rules) avoids any genre definitions. Is it a social satire, a romance or a social drama? Frankly absurd or sentimental, subtle or morbid, eccentric or profane, whatever it may be, this novel simply refuses to be classified. John Irving is a genre unto itself.
Touching the author's eternal themes: loss, regret, love and redemption, this novel also reveals the true human desire for change for the better.
