A tragicomic saga from the celebrated author of "Hotel New Hampshire" and "The Winemaker's Rules," "Men Not Her Life" and "Last Night at Winding River," "Son of the Circus" and "A Prayer for Owen Meany," a panoramic burlesque similar in scope to Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" or Joseph Heller's "Catch-22." It was "The World Through Garp's Eyes" that made Irving a modern classic; the novel won the National Book Foundation Award, was shortlisted for the U.S. National Book Award, and, according to persistent rumors, also shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize (Pulitzer shortlists began to be announced exactly from the next award year). "The World Through Garp's Eyes" is a contemporary saga about a family living in our ruthless world, whose members try, each in their own way and with mixed success, to find harmony. The novel's protagonist is a writer scandalously famous both for his books and the circumstances of his birth; his works, realistic and absurd, are woven into the fabric of the novel. The author himself most accurately defined the attitude of future readers to the book: "It will probably cause even the most gloomy type to smile at times, but it will break many overly tender hearts".
