The Revolution According to Garp


Listen Later

The World According to Garp changes John Irving's life, turning him into a full-time writer and best-selling author. This book was, perhaps, ahead of its time, even if Irving worried that his novel about "sexual hatred" (or the politics of sex, sexuality, and gender) would be outdated by the time it came out. Sadly, it's more relevant than ever, but that doesn't mean Garp didn't have an impact on the world. Tune in to hear from Colin McEnroe, host of WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show, and rockstar Jim Chapdelaine, to hear about how they felt about Garp when the book came out and how they feel about it now.
