Setting Free the Bears
Irving, John

John Irving’s first novel is a dark comic story of two students who conspire to liberate the animals from the Vienna zoo. The story is loosly based on a an actual incident from the last days of World War II. Many of the themes of Irving’s later work are explored here; the absurdity of existence, the idealism of youth, and the ever present dark veil of looming catrosphe.
