Until I Find You

🔖 So begins John Irving's eleventh novel Until I Find Yon - the story of the actor Jack Burns. His mother, Alice, is a tattoo artist from the Port of Leith. His father, William, is an Edinburgh organist who is addicted to being tattooed. When Jack is four, he travels with Alice to several North Sea ports - Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, and Amsterdam - in search of his father, who is missing. But Alice is a mystery, and William can't be found. Even Jack's memories are subject to doubt. Jack Burns is educated at schools in Canada and New England, but he is shaped by his relationships with older women. Mr.Irving renders Jack's life as an actor in Hollywood with the same richness of detail and range of emotions he uses to describe the tattoo parlours in those North Sea ports and the reverberating music Jack heard as a child in European churches.
