Garp, a man born out of wedlock to a fiercely independent mother, Jenny Fields, who becomes an unlikely feminist icon. As Garp navigates a world that is as bizarre and unpredictable as the stories he writes, he strives to protect his family from the \"Under Toad\"—the unseen currents of tragedy and absurdity that pull at the edges of everyday life.\n\nRich with profound observations on sexuality, gender, and the human condition, Irving weaves a narrative where the hilarious often collides with the heartbreaking. From his eccentric childhood at a boys' school to his tumultuous career as a writer, Garp's journey is populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, including the courageous Roberta Muldoon.\n\nIn a world where the unexpected is the only certainty, can Garp find a way to make sense of the beautiful, violent, and poignant mess of existence?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763141685467,"sku":"2026200005363-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f43d3052-e20a-4ab8-a043-bc59f3a9eff2.png?v=1778499340","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005363-secondhand-the-world-according-to-garp","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
