In My Movie Business , John Irving tells of the thirteen years he spent adapting his novel The Cider House Rules for the screen—for four different directors. He 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 ; and about his slow progress shepherding his screenplay of A Son of the Circus into production. The memoir also gives an incisive history of abortion in the United States and a fascinating account of the distinguished career and medical writings of the author's grandfather, Dr. Frederick C. Irving, a renowned obstetrician and gynecologist, who provided Irving with the medical background for The Cider House Rules .
Besides 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.
