Praise for John Irving and The World According to Garp

John Irving, it is abundantly clear, is a true artist. Los Angeles Times

A brilliant panoply of current attitudes toward sex, marriage and parenthood, the feminist movement and above all the concept of delineated sexual roles . . . Irving's characters will stay alive for years to come. Chicago Tribune

A social tragi-comedy of such velocity that it reads rather like a domestic sequel to Catch-22. The Observer (London)

A large talent announces itself on practically every page. The Book of the Month Club News
