About This Book
Millions have entered Garp's world . . . And loved it!
Journey through four generations, across two continents with the astonishing family of T.S. Garp —the famous bastard son of a belligerent mother — who loves, lusts, labors, and triumphs in a world of assassins, wrestlers, rapists, feminist fanatics, transsexual football players, tantalizing teen-age babysitters, adoring children, and a wayward wife.
His life is comic, tragic, violent, tender. His world is totally outrageous. And as real as your own.
