John Irving returns to the themes that established him as one of North America’s most admired storytellers in Avenue of Mysteries.

The Campus Bookstore has selected this absorbing novel of fate and memory as its book of the week, reducing its price from $35 to $30.84 through April 24.

Protagonist Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but what travels with him are his dreams and memories; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico.

“An aura of fate had marked him,” Irving writes. “The chain of events, the links in our lives—what leads us where we’re going, the courses we follow to our ends, what we don’t see coming, and what we do—all this can be mysterious, or simply unseen, or even obvious.”
