Orion The World According To Garp

A masterpiece from one of the great contemporary American writers. A wonderful novel, full of energy and art, at once funny and heartbreaking. 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. Garp, a 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.
