  • ""Livre de la génération des années quatre-vingt, ce roman aujourd'hui mythique de John Irving, est la vision d'un monde chaotique, grotesque et pétri de violence en même temps qu'un merveilleux commentaire sur l'art et l'imaginaire. Récit des rapports orageux et tendres entre une mère célèbre et son fils écrivain, histoire tragique d'un homme aux prises avec ses rôles de père, d'amant et d'époux, Le Monde selon Garp, avec ses personnages colorés et son foisonnement de péripéties, est bien la preuve que l'outrance et le baroque peuvent éclairer notre monde avec une incomparable justesse."

Oeuvre immense et presque inclassable où l'on peut percevoir une allégorie allègre et une satire de la civilisation actuelle avec son cortège foisonnant de péripéties facétieuses et d'incidents rocambolesques. Selon le personnage principal: "le romancier est un médecin qui ne s'occuperait que des incurables... et nous sommes tous des incurables"."

  • "Irving's novel opens in Boston, 1942, with the introduction of T.S. Garp's mother, Jenny Fields. Jenny is an independent woman ahead of the times. She quits college to become a nurse when she decides that higher education for women is meant to groom them for marriage. Jenny has little tolerance for the behavior of men, as demonstrated by the incident that opens the book. A soldier in a movie theater attempts to fondle Jenny. She uses a scalpel she carries in her purse to slice his arm from shoulder to wrist. She is perturbed when the authorities, as well as her own brothers, suggest that she has some kind of relationship with the man. She is released when it is discovered that the man has a wife and child in New York. The incident, along with the treatment she receives from her wealthy family, reinforces her beliefs about men, ... This is the life and times of T.S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny Fields, a feminist leader ahead of her time. 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."@en

  • "Die junge Krankenschwester Jenny Fields wünscht sich ein Kind - aber keinen Mann. Es herrscht gerade der Zweite Weltkrieg und so nutzt Jenny die Gelegenheit, sich bei einem schwer hirngeschädigten Patienten, einem Soldaten, den zur Empfängnis benötigten Samen zu beschaffen. Die Aktion glückt, neun Monate später erblickt ihr einziger Sohn T.S. Garp das Licht der Welt. Garp lernt später auf der Highschool die Tochter des Trainers, Helen Holm, kennen. Helen ist eine Vielleserin und attraktiv noch dazu; Garp verliebt sich in sie. Doch Helen will nur einen Mann heiraten, der Schriftsteller ist. So entschliesst sich Garp, ein echter Schriftsteller zu werden. Auch Jenny beginnt zu schreiben und veröffentlicht ihre Autobiographie, die sehr erfolgreich wird und Garp's schriftstellerisches Schaffen für lange Zeit in den Schatten stellt."
  • "THIS IS THE LIFE AND TIMES OF T.S. GARP, THE BASTARD SON OF JENNY FIELDS A FEMINIST LEADER AHEAD OF HER TIMES.
