The World According to Garp

In 1942, after a scandalous incident, Jenny Fields, a young Bostonian from a good family, leaves the comfort of her home to become a nurse and live her own life. Under strange circumstances, she gives birth to a boy whom she simply calls Garp. Mother and son, armed only with their own energy, make their way through a world of hypocrisy, prohibitions and violence. Gradually, over the years, Jenny and Garp create their own world in the midst of this inevitable hostility. They populate it with eccentric characters whose strange stories shape this slightly crazy world of Garp, but in which everyone seems to live in a certain harmonious balance, in a tribal system that, in the end, completely took the place of Jenny's former home. "The World Through Garp's Eyes" is, in essence, the world as we know it. The only difference is that Garp, who is a writer, humorously takes risks where we, the less inquisitive, hold back.
