En 1942 tras un episodio escandaloso Jenny Fields una joven bostoniana de buena familia abandona la seguridad del hogar para ser enfermera y vivir su vida. En circunstancias peculiares concibe a un niño al que llama Garp a secas. Madre e hijo se abren paso sin más armas que su propia energía en un mundo de hipocresía inhibiciones y violencia. Poco a poco con los años Jenny y Garp van diseñando su propio universo en medio de esa hostilidad inevitable en la que siempre acecha la sombra del Sapo Sumergido. Lo van poblando de personajes excéntricos cuyas historias estrafalarias van dando forma a ese mundo de Garp un poco desquiciado pero en el que todos parecen convivir en cierto armónico equilibrio en un sistema tribal que al final ha ocupado por completo el lugar del antiguo hogar de Jenny. El mundo según Garp es de hecho el mundo tal como lo conocemos. La única diferencia es que Garp que es escritor se arriesga con humor allí donde nosotros menos curiosos nos inhibimos.

 The World According to Garp was more than single, memorable moments. It was unforgettable as a whole for a simple reason - it was epic. It was what a Great American Novel needs to be: all of life between covers. These things oughtn't to be funny. Still, the way that Mr. Irving writes about them, they are. They way he filters them through his hero's unique imagination, we not only laugh at the world according to Garp, but we also accept it and love it.

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. In more than thirty languages, in more than forty countries-with more than ten million copies in print-this novel provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: "In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases."
