Description: The World According to Garp is a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel that established John Irving as one of the most imaginative writers of his generation. A worldwide bestseller since its publication in 1978, Irving's classic is filled with stories inside stories about the life and times of T. S. Garp, novelist and bastard son of Jenny Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her time. Beyond that, The World According to Garp virtually defies synopsis. ----"Nothing in contemporary fiction matches it," said critic Terrence Des Pres. "Irving's blend of gravity and play is unique, audacious, almost blasphemous. . . . Friendship, marriage and family are his primary themes, but at that blundering level of life where mishap and folly--something close to joyful malice--perpetually intrude and disrupt, often fatally. Life, in Irving's fiction, is always under siege." Time magazine "Irving's popularity is not hard to understand. His world is really the world according to nearly everyone." ----This Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by the author.Combined shippingCombined shipping available for multiple items purchased at the same time ShippingWe will guarantee professional shipping that will protect your items with high quality materials that include the following (based on the merchandise we are shipping and not limited to) - Heavy Duty Boxes, Protective Film, Bubble Wrap, Foam Cushions, Foam Blocks, Peanuts, Packing Paper, Bubble Mailers, Corner Guards, Double Boxing and etc. We guarantee that we will have your items shipped on time, and if for some reason your item is hung up somewhere or tracking is not updating for some reason, please feel free to reach out so we can find the answers together.
