This is the story of Jack Burns, wrestler, actor, lover, character extraordinaire. The book follows Jack from early childhood through middle age. It follows him on his journey to find himself. He can't, of course, until he finds his roots. This is something I've read once a year since I got it the year it was released. John Irving is a master of creating characters and building worlds around them. I would also recommend A Prayer for Owen Meany, The World According to Garp, and The Hotel New Hampshire... to name a few.
