THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP
This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard $on of
Jenny Fields—a feminist leader ahead or her times. This is the
life and death of a famous mother and her almost-famous
son; theirs is a world of sexual extremes—even of sexual assassi-
nations. It is a novel rich with "lunacy and sorrow"; yet the
dark, violent events of the story do not undermine a comedy
both ribald and robust. In more than thirty languages, in
more than forty countries—with more than ten million copies
in print—this novel provides almost cheerful, even hilarious
evidence of its famous last line: "In the world according to
Garp, we are all terminal cases."
"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it____Irving's
blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost
blasphemous____Brilliant, funny, and consistently wise; a
work of vast talent."
—The New Republic
