The World According to Garp is a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. Irving’s classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, novelist and bastard son of Jenny Fields – a feminist leader ahead of her time.

The reader can rampage the hilarious and chaotic world of Garp and his companions: kindly whores assassins, schoolteachers, wrestlers and earless Newfounlanders.
