Description
A wonderful novel, full of energy and art, at once funny and heartbreaking, The World According to Garp is a masterpiece from one of the great contemporary American writers. Beautifully written, it tells the story of T. S. Garp, a struggling writer and the illegitimate son of Jenny Fields, an unlikely feminist heroine ahead of her time.
With its powerfully compelling and compassionate coming-of-age narrative, this novel established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. A diamond sleeping in the dark, chipped out at last for our enrichment and delight, it is a book that is both approachable and brilliant.
