«La cuarta mano» is the contemporary fiction novel by John Irving, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Patrick Wallingford, a television journalist, loses his left hand in a tragicomic accident and becomes a worldwide news story. The transplant of a deceased donor's hand alters his emotional life, perhaps because of the pact with the donor's widow. Farce and drama combine to explore identity, fame, and second chances.
It belongs to Tusquets' Andanzas collection, number 450. Originally published in English in 2001 as «The Fourth Hand», the Spanish translation is by Jordi Fibla.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and fans of John Irving who enjoy novels that combine humour and reflection.
John Winslow Irving is an American and Canadian novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.
