The Last Chairlift by John Irving
1.0

This is Irving's first book in about seven years. I have loved his writing for decades and was so excited to read this and it was honestly a crushing disappointment. It has many of his trademark subjects; wrestling, sexuality and gender etc, but I struggled to find anything new he had to say about any of it. It was massive, coming in at just over 900 pages and honestly could have done with a significant edit. I was so sad about this.
