This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny Fieldsβ€”a feminist leader ahead of her times. This is the life and death of a famous mother and her almost-famous son; theirs is a world of sexual extremesβ€”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 countriesβ€”with more than ten million copies in printβ€”this novel provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: "In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."
National Book Critics Circle Award Nominee for Fiction (1978), National Book Award Finalist for Fiction (1979)
