Going back to the first time I read the book The Hotel New Hampshire, John Irving has been my favorite author. With nothing fun to read at hand one day, found an old paperback copy of The World According to Garp and decided to go for the re-read.
The World According to Garp was published in 1978, is John Irving's fourth novel and first of critical and financial acclaim.
This is story of a TS Garp, born to an independent feminist before there even was a classification of the term feminist. He grew up well nurtured by a thoughtful woman, becoming an author, and for the most part lived a lived curtailed by women.
This is a wonderful book, a must read for any adult who enjoys humor tinged with political unrest.
Buy it, steal it, read it.
