«Le Monde selon Garp» is the novel by John Irving published by Points in paperback (648 pages, in French).
Jenny Fields wants a child without a man in her life; thus Garp is born, growing up in the boarding school where she works as a nurse. Both end up devoting themselves to writing, and Jenny becomes a feminist icon, while Garp, a happy husband and father, fears the male violence lurking in his universe. A satire of overflowing imagination.
Original work from 1978, published in English as The World According to Garp; it won the National Book Award and its French translation is by Maurice Rambaud.
For readers of literary fiction and coming-of-age novels who appreciate sharp humour and family portraits; also fits book clubs.
John Winslow Irving is an American and Canadian novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.
