This is the life and era of Jenny Fields' bastard son, T. S. Garp, a trailblazing feminist leader ahead of her time. This is the life and death of a well-known mother and her son who is on the verge of fame; it is a world of extreme sexuality, including sexual assassinations. Although there is a lot of "lunacy and sorrow" in this book, the grim, violent occurrences do not take away from the raucous and strong humor. This book offers almost happy, even humorous proof of its famous concluding line: "In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases." It has been translated into more than thirty languages, published in more than forty countries, and sold more than ten million copies worldwide.
