This Month's Book:
The World According to Garp
by John Irving
1978, 600 pages
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 do not undermine the comedy.
