The World According to Garp was more than single, memorable moments. It was unforgettable as a whole for a simple reason - it was epic. It was what a Great American Novel needs to be: all of life between covers. These things oughtn't to be funny. Still, the way that Mr. Irving writes about them, they are. They way he filters them through his hero's unique imagination, we not only laugh at the world according to Garp, but we also accept it and love it.

HTML:Now available as an ebook for the first time ever in America, the bestselling coming-of-age classic novel by John Irvingthe 40th anniversary edition with a new introduction by the author. He is more than popular. He is a Populist, determined to keep alive the Dickensian tradition that revels in colorful set pieces...and teaches moral lessons.The New York Times The opening sentence of John Irvings breakout novel The World According to Garp signals the start of sexual violence, which becomes increasingly political. Garps mother, Jenny Fields, was arrested in Boston in 1942 for wounding a man in a movie theater. Jenny is an unmarried nurse; she becomes a single mom and a feminist leader, beloved but polarizing. Her son, Garp, is less beloved, but no less polarizing. From the tragicomic tone of its first sentence to its mordantly funny last linewe are all terminal casesThe World According to Garp maintains a breakneck pace. The subject of sexual hatredof intolerance of sexual minorities and differencesruns the gamut of lunacy and sorrow. Winner of the National Book Award, Garp is a comedy with forebodings of doom. In more than thirty languages, in more than forty countrieswith more than ten million copies in printGarp is the precursor of John Irvings later protest novels.
