The Imaginary Girlfriend is a miniature autobiography detailing Irving’s parallel careers of writing and wrestling. . . . Tales of encounters with writers (John Cheever, Nelson Algren, Kurt Vonnegut) are intertwined with the ones about his wrestling teammates and coaches. With humor and compassion, [Irving] main points the few in reality vital lessons he learned about writing. . . . And in beefing up his narrative with anecdotes which might be each bit as hilarious because the antics in his novels, Irving combines the teachings of both obsessions (wrestling and writing) . . . into a somber mirrored image at the importance of living well.”
