«L'Épopée du buveur d'eau» is John Irving's humorous novel, published by Seuil/Points in paperback (426 pages, in French).
Fred «Bogus» Trumper, a charming dreamer with little sense of responsibility, suffers from a physical problem that only drinking large amounts of water alleviates. Between a wife who wants to leave him, a mistress who wants a child, and a filmmaker who wants to make a documentary about failure, Irving builds a tender and zany comedy.
No. 382 in the Points roman collection. Translated from English by Michel Lebrun; the work was originally published as The Water-Method Man in 1972.
For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate absurd humor and John Irving's eccentric characters.
John Winslow Irving is an American and Canadian novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.
