Non-Fiction Memoir
John Irving’s memoir begins with his account of the
distinguished career and medical writings of the novelist’s
grandfather Dr. Frederick C. Irving, a renowned obstetrician
and gynecologist, and includes Mr. Irving’s incisive history
of abortion politics in the United States. But My Movie
Busi-ness focuses primarily on the thirteen years John
Irving spent adapting his novel The Cider House Rules for
the screen—for four different directors. Mr. Irving also writes about the failed effort to make his
first novel, Setting Free the Bears, into a movie; about two
of the films that were made from his novels (but not from
his screenplays), The World According to Garp and The Hotel
New Hampshire; about his slow progress at shepherding his
screenplay of A Son of the Circus into production. Not least, and in addition to its qualities as a
memoir—anecdotal, comic, affectionate, and candid—My Movie
Business is an insightful essay on the essential differences
between writing a novel and writing a screenplay. The photographs in My Movie Business were taken by Stephen
Vaughan, the still photogra-pher on the set of The Cider
House Rules—a Miramax production directed by Lasse
Hallstrˆm, with Michael Caine in the role of Dr. Larch.
Concurrently with the November 1999 release of the film,
Talk Miramax Books will publish John Irving’s screenplay.
