More From John Irving

The seven white notes on the piano - each section of the piece (there are 12 sections) is five of those seven white notes. if you calculate it, there are 21 groups of five notes in any group of seven notes. and although there are 12 sections, this piece actually uses nine of those groups because some of the sections repeat earlier ones. so that's the formula. it's very simple as a way of generating something. it's my inner minimalist.

This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.

He thought about the story his daughter was living and the role she was playing inside that story. he realized he hadn't provided a better role for his daughter. he hadn't mapped out a story for his family. and so his daughter had chosen another story, a story in which she was wanted, even if she was only being used. in the absence of a family story, she'd chosen a story in which there was risk and adventure, rebellion and independence.

If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea. one day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. my name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved. now those words mean only what their letters spell out; star in the night sky. truth in the darkness. i have crossed over to a place where i never thought i'd be. i am someone i would have never imagined. a secret. a dream. i am this, body and soul. burn me. drown me. tell me lies. i will still be who i am.
