20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION<br>with a new Afterword from the author<br><br><br><br><b>The </b><b><i>New York Times</i></b><b> bestseller</b><br><br><br><br>This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny <br>Fields--a feminist leader ahead of her times.  This is the life and death <br>of a famous mother and her almost-famous son; theirs is a world of sexual <br>extremes--even of sexual assassinations.  It is a novel rich with "lunacy <br>and sorrow"; yet the dark, violent events of the story do not undermine a <br>comedy both ribald and robust.  In more than thirty languages, in more than <br>forty countries--with more than ten million copies in print--this novel <br>provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: <br>"In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."
