'SHARP AND VERY, VERY FUNNY, THIS IS ANOTHER OF IRVING'S FIERCELY ORIGINAL MEDITATIONS ON LIFE'S INHERENT STRANGENESS' Uncut
While reporting a story from India, New York journalist Patrick Wallingford inadvertently becomes his own headline when his left hand is eaten by a lion. In Boston, a renowned surgeon eagerly awaits the opportunity to perform the nation's first hand transplant.
