Product Description
From AudioFile
Irving demonstrates vocal abilities that match the most professional of actors. In this story, taken from his first big novel, The World According to Garp, Irving effects just the right tone of wistful reminiscence that gives the book its distinctive feel. He doesn't strain to give each character a different voice, yet each one remains unique--even the unicycle-riding bear. While he doesn't race through the text, Irving proceeds at a steady pace, which doesn't for a moment drag. Notice that a side has ended and ordering information are nice editing inclusions, but the real treat here is Irving's storytelling as interpreted by Irving himself. D.A.W.

better than irving,
By A Customer
This review is from: John Irving Reads the Pension Grillparzer: A Complete Story from the World According to Garp (Audio Cassette)
The genius of this piece is that Irving has created a character in T.S.Garp who is an even better writer than himself. "The Pension Grillparzer," Garp's first and best work, is even better than Irving could have written himself.

This review is from: John Irving Reads the Pension Grillparzer: A Complete Story from the World According to Garp (Audio Cassette)
this story within a story, to me, is the highlight of the world according to garp. the plot is funny and beautiful and sad and humbles me as a writer. this story holds its own outside of the context of the novel, however i recommend it be read in the book for full effect.
