Garp und wie er die Welt sah

John Irving's breakthrough novel - with a new foreword by the author. Powerful and political, featuring unforgettable characters and timeless themes: Irving's modern classic is an outstanding novel. It tells the story of Jenny, an unmarried nurse who becomes a single mother and feminist leader. And of her son Garp, who becomes a writer because he wants to be loved, who searches for his place in the world, and who polarizes – just like his mother. A novel full of friendship and acceptance, discrimination and misunderstanding, told with pace and mastery. John Irving provides his characteristic observations of the world and its madness, the quirky comedy and tragedy of everyday life. His portrayals of intolerance and gender diversity are timeless and as relevant today as ever.
