The Fourth Hand asks an interesting question: How can anyone identify a dream of the future? The answer: Destiny is not imaginable, except in dreams or to those in love.While reporting a story from India, a New York television journalist has his left hand eaten by a lion; millions of TV viewers witness the accident. In Boston, a renowned hand surgeon awaits the opportunity to perform the nations first hand transplant; meanwhile, in the distracting aftermath of an acrimonious divorce, the surgeon is seduced by his housekeeper. A married woman in Wisconsin wants to give the one-handed reporter her husbands left hand that is, after her husband dies. But the husband is alive, relatively young, and healthy.This is how John Irvings tenth novel begins; it seems, at first, to be a comedy, perhaps a satire, almost certainly a sexual farce. Yet, in the end, The Fourth Hand is as realistic and emotionally moving as any of Mr. Irvings previous novels including The World According to Garp, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and A Widow for One Year or his Oscar-winning screenplay of The Cider House Rules.The Fourth Hand is characteristic of John Irvings seamless storytelling and further explores some of the authors recurring themes loss, grief, love as redemption. But this novel also breaks new ground; it offers a penetrating look at the power of second chances and the will to change.From the Trade Paperback edition.
