About this product

Product Information

This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny Fields, a feminist leader ahead of her time. 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 assassinations. 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."

    An ironic twist...

    Just finished reading this classic tale of John Irving. The same author who wrote The Cider House Rules, and bases his novels in New Hampshire or Maine. The first few chapters draws you in as the reader learns about Jenny Fields RN, a feminist before her time and an oddball to most. She neither wanted male attention, nor a husband, but over time wanted a baby. So, after getting herself pregnant by rather unorthodox methods she gives birth to son: T.S.Garp. Over time, the story begins to transfer from Jenny's life to Garp's as he struggles to become a good writer, husband, and father. The ironic twist I find is that Garp is the exact opposite of his sexless mother. He was constantly finding sex partners, prostitutes, etc. aside from his wife. Also, over time Garp began to see what a rough ...
