The World According To Garp Zusammenfassung

The World According To Garp John Irving

This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny Fields - a feminist leader ahead of her times. It is also 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. It provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases.

The World According To Garp Bewertungen

Absolutely extraordinary...a roller-coaster ride that leaves one breathless, exhausted, elated and tearful * Los Angeles Times *
A wonderful novel, full of energy and art, at once funny and heartbreaking. You know it is true. It is also terrific * The Washington Post *
Like all great works of art, Irving's novel seems always to have been there, a diamond sleeping in the dark, chipped out at last for our enrichment and delight...As approachable as it is brilliant, Garp pulses with vital energy * Cosmopolitan *
Like all extraordinary books, The World According to Garp defies synopsis * Chicago Sun Times *
