About This Item

New York: E. P. Dutton, 1978. Advance reading copy, 8vo, pp. [10], 437, [1]; original wrappers printed in red, spine a bit sunned. Laid in is a letter from Henry Robbins, editor-in-chief at Dutton, addressed to Harry T. Moore in Carterville, IL. "My enthusiasm for John Irving's The World According to Garp is boundless, and I hope you will accept the invitation extended on the back of this advanced copy."

Synopsis

John Irving has been nominated for a National Book Award three times–winning once, in 1980, for the novel The World According to Garp. A Prayer for Owen Meany was published in 1989. In 1992, Mr. Irving was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In 2000, he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules –a film with seven Academy Award nominations. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Reviews

On Sep 26 2007, Shawnee said:
This is the best book I have ever read!! If you want a story about the 70's this is one, full of symoblism and underlying truths and tragedy. The "undertoad" You may not always see it but its always there, and we all have those "undertoads" in our life. This book is full complete, from beginning to end, the end will not leave you questioning "what was Irving thinking?" He completed this book and didn't shirk on the details, its phenomonal!
