 Style: Saints, sinners, and the Dickensian novel: the ethics of storytelling in John Irving's 'The Cider House Rules.'
Irving's own approach to storytelling - his technique, as well as his understanding of its purposes - demonstrates the ethical force of the narrative act as he conceives it.
On the contrary - as Dickens's Victorian-era canon and Irving's late twentieth-century oeuvre seem to demonstrate - to entertain one's readers is to capture their hearts and minds in such a way that draws them into the lives of characters who populate stories that truly matter within the larger narrative of our shared humanity.
This is not to say that a given character is necessarily grandiose or ethical in his or her own right; on the contrary, in The Cider House Rules Irving borrows from Dickens by making an orphan of diminutive and humble stature a central figure in the action of his novel.

 Your Media: Irving / Overview
The Irving empire – which includes more than 300 companies,ƒ4 has an estimated net worth of approximately $4 billion,ƒ5 and which employs eight per cent of the New Brunswick labour forceƒ6 in operations that span forestry, transportation and constructionƒ7 – is not exposed to investigative journalistic inquiry in the province's daily papers.
For example: In October all three Irving papers ran similar news headlines that defended their bosses from accusations of undue influence when it was revealed that they had given government ministers free plane trips and fishing junkets.
Finally, the Irvings' coverage of their own empire is particularly marked by a strategy of defeatism where those who oppose the company are routinely portrayed as naive, foolish and irrational in their futile effort to challenge the Irvings.
