The World According to Garp

A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)

John Irving

This novel explores the eccentric life of T.S. Garp and his famous feminist mother. Their world is filled with sexual extremes and violent events, yet the story balances lunacy and sorrow with ribald humor. With over 10 million copies in print and available in multiple languages, this book reminds us that in the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases.
