Setting Free the Bears - Softcover
It is 1967 and two Viennese university students want to liberate the Vienna Zoo, as was done after World War II. But their good intentions have both comic and gruesome consequences, in this first novel written by a twenty-five year old John Irving, already a master storyteller.

Review:
"The most nourishing, satisfying novel I have read in years. I admire the hell out of it" (Kurt Vonnegut Jr)
"Sensual, moving, truly remarkable" (Time)
"Imagine a mixture of Till Eulenspiegel and Ken Kesey and you've got the range of the merry pranksters who hot-rod through Mr Irving's book, tossing flowers, stealing salt-shakers, and planning the biggest caper of their young lives" (The New York Times)
