His eleventh novel. "[I]n increments both measurable and not, our childhood is stolen from us – not always in one momentous event but often in a series of small robberies, which add up to the same loss." Chronicle of a Hollywood actor's lifelong search for his missing father which shapes his dysfunctional relationships with women.

Originally written in the first person, Irving changed narrative voice to third person shortly before publication, when similarities between protagonist and writer – such as childhood sexual abuse and an absent father – became all too apparent. "[C]uts closer to the bone than any of [Irving's] previous works." –Ottawa Citizen
