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."

1 最近在读《盖普眼中的世界》,这是一本奇怪的书。 如果将书分成十个部分,那么打分依次是十,九,八,七……三,二,一。 一个出色的开头,像气势汹汹的火车头, 中间夹了一篇出色的短篇小说,其余的部分让人期待,最终失望。 主角是一个男作家,一生都在和女人纠缠不清, 我...
评分 评分一个优秀小说的开头:“我父亲在奥地利观光局工作。” 一个拙劣小说的开头:“男孩儿五岁。咳嗽声好像比他瘦弱的小胸膛还深沉。” 如果只拥有回忆,写出的皆为粪土。 ——“他再也没有纯粹的想象了。” 《葛利尔帕泽寄宿舍》甚至比整本四五百页的《盖普》更重要。它是欧文写出...
评分身为一名大适婚大龄落单青年,耳朵塞满了各路好友亲朋的催婚攻击,放眼大街上是牵手的情侣和惹眼的伴侣,朋友圈是晒娃狂魔们和花式秀恩爱的不变主场,即便我坚信“只有该结婚了的感情,没有该结婚了的年龄”而装作波澜不惊,但我的心却着实已经惶恐不淡定,于是我便转投精神食...
评分他们都是写书的人生的——《寡居的一年》和《盖普眼中的世界》里的主要观察者,然后他们自己也尝试起写作来。不过这没什么大不了的,这只是在有些时候让他们说起话来更方便一点,跟“一个作家的一生”、“作家之家”诸如此类的故事毫不相干,冯内古特的书里也老是写到个科幻小...
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
评分看完的不只是Garp的一生,是很多人的一生,他的母亲,妻子,儿子,朋友,出版商…

评分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.]
评分in this dirty-minded world you are either somebody's wife or somebody's slut
