Summary:
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. This
novel
provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: "In the
world
according
to
Garp
, we are all terminal cases."
