Book synopsis

20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION§with a new Afterword from the author§§The New York Times bestseller§§This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny§Fields--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§extremes--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 countries--with more than ten million copies in print--this novel§provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line:§"In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."
