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."

# 一 在《凝視肚臍》這篇文章裏,作者說瞭這麼一件事。 >美國作傢安妮·普魯(《斷背山》的作者)在吹自己新書《Barkskins》 時說這是一本老式小說,一部主題宏大、人物眾多的長篇巨製,“不是大多數美國作傢喜愛寫的那種凝視肚臍式的、描寫傢庭破碎與危機的小說。” >…...
評分“讀客外國小說文庫”中的這本《蓋普眼中的世界》,是一部相當有“分量”的小說。其分量,不僅在於塊頭,——江蘇鳳凰文藝齣版社2018年版,正文便有606頁,厚度遠超一枚一元硬幣直徑。其厚重,更體現在故事情節上。作者雖然刻意用平淡的筆觸,去描述蓋普及其母親為代錶的這個傢...
評分"在蓋普眼中的世界裏,我們都患瞭末期絕癥。"約翰·歐文以這個散發著嗆人末世氣味的句子讓《蓋普眼中的世界》意猶未瞭,照他本人的說法,這是唯一可能的結束方式,甚至還考慮將它置於小說篇首。卻不能由此導齣一個結論:歐文是一個現代派作傢。乍讀他的小說,難免讓人想起其前...
評分一個優秀小說的開頭:“我父親在奧地利觀光局工作。” 一個拙劣小說的開頭:“男孩兒五歲。咳嗽聲好像比他瘦弱的小胸膛還深沉。” 如果隻擁有迴憶,寫齣的皆為糞土。 ——“他再也沒有純粹的想象瞭。” 《葛利爾帕澤寄宿捨》甚至比整本四五百頁的《蓋普》更重要。它是歐文寫齣...

the narrative is sometimes bogged down in trivialities and the author's over-stretched ambitions to cover too many themes, otherwise this could be a modern classic
評分看完的不隻是Garp的一生,是很多人的一生,他的母親,妻子,兒子,朋友,齣版商…
評分The pursuit of excellence is a lethal habit.[Crying my eyes out, and can't help laughing at the same time. That's my definition of a good book.]
評分很好看。看完餘味很足。
