Synopsis
Something of a modern classic, this is the story of T. S. Garp, who is raised by his eccentric feminist mother and spends most of his life surrounded and preoccupied by woman. Irving depicts Garp's pursuit of a writing career against the backdrop of the odd assortment of characters in his life--wrestlers, radical feminists, transsexuals, and rape protesters. Part fictional biography, part examination of the writing life, and part meditation on modern American society gone amok.

Industry Reviews
"A wonderful novel, full of energy and art, at once funny and horrifying and heartbreaking....You know 'The World According to Garp' is true. It is also terrific."
Reich
"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it...Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost blasphemous....[B]rilliant, funny, and consistently wise; a work of vast talent."
McPherson
"...the most powerful and profound novel about women written by a man in our generation....[L]ike all extraordinary books, 'Garp' defies synopsis."
Bulow
