Scan from a Book I'm Pitching

The more time goes on and the more terrible books that John Irving publishes, all of them, except ...Garp for the most part, just get worse in retrospect, like some sort of decaying is going on.

For instance, check this opening and say "Yes, I really want to read about a guy calling his wife 'Utch' for 255 pages..." Plus, nice typo already three lines into the book.

The 158-Pound Marriage, 1974.
