Patrick bahkan mendapat julukan the lion guy. Tak perlu waktu lama, Patrick mendapat tawaran untuk menjalani operasi transplantasi ringan.
Dr. Nicholas M. Zajac, dokter bedah tangan yang sangat cerdas, yang memberi tawaran itu. Meskipun Dr. Zajac tidak punya maksud apa pun selain menolong Patrick, tapi teman-teman sejawatnya malah menjauhi dokter aneh yang sering salah tingkah itu karena menganggapnya mencari popularitas belaka.
Dr. Zajac segera mendapat donor untuk Patrick. Donor itu tangan Otto Clausen yang tak sengaja bunuh diri dalam truk birnya di Green Bay. Masalahnya, janda Otto, Doris Clausen ingin bertemu dengan Patrick sebelum operasi, juga menuntut hak kunjung bagi tangan suaminya.

Judge Of Books The Fourth Hand

This novel follows the highlights and troughs in the life of Patrick Wallingford, a journalist working for a trashy 24-hour TV news station. Whilst covering a story in India, he gets one of his hands bitten off by a circus lion. A surgeon shows interest in trying a hand transplant, and shortly after this Doris Clausen, a newly widowed woman who saw the lion episode on television, offers one of her husband's hands for the operation....on the condition she can have visiting rights to see the hand

I know that John Irving is a human being. Ive seen him in person; therefore I know that he is human, which is to say, flawed. I accept that. What I have not accepteduntil reading The Fourth Handis that he is a flawed writer. As a MASSIVE John Irving fan, I have genuinely loved every novel he published prior to this one, from the middle-aged suburban angst of The 158-Pound Marriage to the exotic lunacy of A Son of the Circus (which required three attempts before I could actually even make it past



I think this is the first Irving novel I've read which doesn't feature a bear somewhere in the story. Just a brief mention of one in a photograph, and that's it. There was a lion, which played a central, if brief role, but no bear. I have to say, I kind of missed a bear. Other than that, this is another wonderful Irving story. Peopled by quirky characters and with a fair dose of improbable coincidences, Irving again weaves a tale which captivates, enraptures, and satisfies. What always

For to have laboured for many years and to have fashioned a small brown cylindrical, tapered object has got to be much more disappointing, and confusing to an author than it can ever be to me. All I've lost is 2 days of the opportunity to read something better. He has lost so much more.Witness any movie, any person walking down the street, any building, anything and you see something that someone has spent years and tears fashioning and moulding and creating. That young girl you passed on the

I just finished reading John Irvings The Fourth Hand. While it is worth noting that I have previously read both The World According to Garp and A Prayer for Owen Meany, found each to be better than The Fourth Hand, and recommend that you read both, The Fourth Hand is especially significant today--two days after the Virginia Tech shooting. The Fourth Hand is a story that follows a cad of a television field reporter who loses his left hand to an Indian circus lion while on an assignment. The
