The World According To Garp
By John Irving
Harry Hartog's review
This title shows the power of raw emotion, misguided love and one pre-disastered house. Garp's tale is a cautionary one but its so full of honesty, vulnerability, laughter and cathartic tears. This is my absolute favourite book of all time - please share in it's love with me! - Peri, Harry Hartog Penrith
Description
A masterpiece from one of the great contemporary American writers.
'A wonderful novel, full of energy and art, at once funny and heartbreaking...terrific' WASHINGTON POST
Anniversary edition with a new afterword from the author.
A worldwide bestseller since its publication, Irving's classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, struggling writer and illegitimate son of Jenny Fields - an unlikely feminist heroine ahead of her time.
Beautifully written, THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP is a powerfully compelling and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation.
'A diamond sleeping in the dark, chipped out at last for our enrichment and delight...As approachable as it is brilliant' COSMOPOLITAN
