2. Irving‘s archetypal hero is Garp, whose mother dominates his existence, having conceived him on top of a comatose airman, and his novels are full of male characters with strong mothers and absent fathers.
3. The author of The World According to Garp and a string of other bestsellers said he and King felt like "warm–up bands" for Rowling, who is working on the seventh and last book in the Harry Potter series, and who has said two characters will die.

5. In talking about the writing process, both Irving and Rowling said they planned their plots out in advance so that they knew going into the writing whether they would be killing off characters, something which made writing death scenes somewhat easier. «I have a kind of casualty list of which characters make it and which characters don‘t before I write the first word,» said Irving, author of works including «The World According to Garp» and «The Cider House Rules.» «By the time I get to write those death scenes themselves ... I‘m not truly as emotionally affected when it comes to writing those scenes, it‘s as if they‘ve already happened,» he said.
