Description
Garp is a man whose life unfolds from cradle to grave in counterpoint to the dizzy, violent, cruel and casually destructive rhythms of our anxious age. 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.Tags

Trashy.
Trashy and antifeminist. With little to recommend it except that it's immoral, it's a real cultural toxin.
So there we go. I told myself I'd never be that person, the don't write the book person, but the movies are great, you know.
