Trying to Save Piggy Sneed by John Irving

This is another Taiwan purchase.  A mish-mash of a book, part memoir, part short story collection, part literary homage.  The thing I like about it is the pictures.  There is so much voyeuristic pleasure involved in looking into the life of one of your literary heroes - who hangs out with literary heroes of his own.  There are pictures of him with Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut.  He was also good friends with Robertson Davies who officiated at John and his second wife's marriage.
