Irving’s first novel was published when he was just twenty-six years old. He has gone on to be nominated for a National Book Award three times and won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. \nThe Last Chairlift\, Irving’s self-proclaimed final long novel\, begins in Aspen\, Colorado in 1941\, when Rachel Brewster\, a slalom skier\, competes at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray\, as she is called\, finishes nowhere near the podium\, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home\, in New England\, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son\, Adam\, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later\, looking for answers\, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome\, where he was conceived\, Adam will meet some ghosts; they aren’t the first or the last ghosts he sees. \nYou don’t want to miss this hour online with internationally bestselling author John Irving.
