The World according to Garp
The World according to Garp tells the story of T.S. Garp, a cute bastard who grows up in a world rocked by feminism. Whilst Garp sees himself as a 'serious' writer, his mother Jenny writes a feminist manifesto at an opportune time, and finds herself as a magnet for all manner of distressed women.
