20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION

with a new Afterword from the author

The New York Times bestseller

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 of the story do not undermine a

comedy both ribald and robust.  In more than thirty languages, in more than

forty countries--with more than ten million copies in print--this novel

provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line:

"In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."
