John Irving's literary worlds are satirically exaggerated and socio-critical – and have their very own magic. But how do these dazzling, sometimes bizarre narrative worlds come about? The documentary film "The World According to Irving" gives a unique insight into his writing workshop and sets out to trace the places and people that have become part of his stories.
"Good night, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England". With these words, Dr. Larch, the self-sacrificing orphanage doctor in John Irving's "The Cider House Rules", sends his protégés to bed. Then he goes off to die.
