Die Welt des Schriftstellers Garp ist bevölkert von Lehrern und Huren, Spießern und Randexistenzen, Verlagslektoren und Mördern, Transsexuellen und Sittenstrolchen, Männern, Frauen und Kindern - grotesk, brutal, banal, perfide. Ein Pandämonium: unsere Welt. Diese Geschichte ist so absurd, so komisch, so tränentreibend, so kühl und sachlich, so wirklich und genau, dass man das Buch nicht mehr loswird.
