Product Information
John Irving returns to the themes that established him as one of our most admired and beloved authors in this absorbing novel of fate and memory. In Avenue of Mysteries , Juan Diego--a fourteen-year-old boy, who was born and grew up in Mexico--has a thirteen-year-old sister. Her name is Lupe, and she thinks she sees what's coming--specifically, her own future and her brother's. Lupe is a mind reader; she doesn't know what everyone is thinking, but she knows what most people are thinking. Regarding what has happened, as opposed to what will, Lupe is usually right about the past; without your telling her, she knows all the worst things that have happened to you. Lupe doesn't know the future as accurately. But consider what a terrible burden it is, if you believe you know the future--especially your own future, or, even worse, the future of someone you love. What might a thirteen-year-old girl be driven to do, if she thought she could change the future? As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but what travels with him are his dreams and memories; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico. As 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. 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.

Reviews
"Delivers Irving's Typical Blend of Humor and Tragedy.", Have had a hard time putting down Avenue of Mysteries . A new John Irving novel is always like an unexpected gift., A richly detailed, imaginative and beautiful novel, with a series of events that seem equally bizarre and resoundingly universal…. It is a complex and many-layered novel that covers a lot of intellectual, moral and emotional ground, but in the end, it is the simplest, saddest and most wonderful tale of the human condition. It is about what we all fear: finding people to love, and then losing them, too., "In its early pages especially, Avenue of Mysteries is laugh-out-loud funny.... Yet as funny as the new novel often is, Irving's reconsideration of earlier themes seems more somber here. The novel explores questions of belief and disillusionment, chance and choice, the mundane and the miraculous . Avenue of Mysteries is a provocative and perplexing novel.", In its early pages especially, Avenue of Mysteries is laugh-out-loud funny....

A welcome return to form., "Have had a hard time putting down Avenue of Mysteries . A new John Irving novel is always like an unexpected gift.", A wild and rollicking ride.... Irving plays delightful havoc with this colorful collection of humanity, beguiling us from start to finish., "The novel's tone moves easily from drama to comedy to tragedy, the perfect mix for a film adaptation someday. Casting will probably take time these characters are so unique. Until then, lose yourself in this tale from one of America's pre-eminent storytellers.", "Like all of Irving's novels, "Avenue of Mysteries" is about awakening - to the past, to hidden emotions, and to the truth and weight of trauma and childhood. Only this time, the narrative is dreamier and more ruminative.", This sprawling, imaginative tale about a writer whose life's journey has all the qualities of a modern Dickens novel is vintage Irving., "Once Again, Irving's Lyrical Writing Grabs Readers from the First Page.", "Juan Diego's memories of adolescence around 1970 in Oaxaca compose some of the most charming scenes that Irving has ever written. He's still an unparalleled choreographer of outrageous calamities that exist somewhere between coincidence and fate.... Those conflicting currents of spirituality flowing through "Avenue of Mysteries" add to Irving's rich exploration of faith in several earlier novels.", " Avenue of Mysteries is full of Irvingisms the transvestite, the circus, the orphanage, the character who can't speak, the car accident, the missing father, the weird Christianity.

Irving plays delightful havoc with this colorful collection of humanity, beguiling us from start to finish.", Irving proves his prose still packs a punch in Avenue of Mysteries .… It's good to see that this popular and insightful literary magician still has a few tricks up his sleeve., "A dream-steeped, enchanted, and often amusing tale.... Irving keeps this imaginative story, his aging novelist, his odd cast of characters, and his readers, moving on a trajectory toward collision in this unfailingly masterful narrative.", The novel is a remarkable feat... as Irving ignores the constraints of conventional fiction and tosses all of his ideas into his novelist's blender and turns it on high., The outsize characters on the two vast alternating canvases Irving paints are more varied than the acts in a circus caravan., "Irving proves his prose still packs a punch in Avenue of Mysteries .... It's good to see that this popular and insightful literary magician still has a few tricks up his sleeve.", In describing what Juan Diego goes through, Mr. Irving is something like a magician showing the audience how the rabbit actually pops out of the hat. Perhaps more than in any other of his books, Avenue of Mysteries demonstrates what is under the hood what goes on in writers' minds., "Delivers [Irving's] Typical Blend of Humor and Tragedy", From the first page to the last, there is a goodness to this novel, a tenacious belief in love and the redemptive power of human connection, unfettered by institutions and conventions. This belief, combined with good old-fashioned storytelling, is surely why Irving is so often described as Dickensian. But John Irving is his own thing, and so is his new novel.
