Avenue of Mysteries

Sweet. Bittersweet. Laudatory. Confusing.

Viagra, Sacred Virgins, Blow up - sex doll saints, dump dogs.

Stigmata - fake, travel agents/sex partners (supernatural?), transvestites, donkey blow jobs.

The Circus.

Everything that should make this Irving novel great and it was. Once you hit the crescendo with books like, “A Prayer for Owen Meany” or “The World According to Garp”. It's hard for every book to be that magical.

This one delivers...I think.
