Description:
WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP MIDPRICE, John Irving
The World According to Garp is a rare comic, original but also shocking novel that made John Irving famous overnight. Since its publication in 1978, millions of readers have enjoyed the eccentric, non-conformist Jenny, her son TS (Technical Sergeant) Garp and the fanatics, innocent children, transsexuals, whores, wrestlers and many characters that populate the world of Garp. Like no other, John Irving knows how to mix themes such as the excesses of the sexual revolution and the inevitable war between the sexes with a procession of colorful characters. The World According to Garp is an unsurpassed tragi-comedy that deeply touches readers, and is also a classic.
John Irving is one of the most popular writers in the world. He is always talking about strange shapes that family relationships take on, about birth and sex, about religion and intolerance. He hangs meandering plots, countless subplots, extensive excursions and insertions on the great themes of life and the twentieth century. His peatlands are populated by lively characters that readers can easily take to their hearts,'- Standaard
