Author, literary agent, and the creator of the Agents + Books newsletter Kate McKean read The World According to Garp by John Irving when she was 14. She read it with her high school boyfriend, and still has their jointly-annotated copy. In this episode, Kate and host Rebecca Thandi Norman discuss this classic, wide-ranging novel, including questions like: is this a protest novel (John Irving says yes!) and if so, what is it protesting? Is this a book about writing? How much can you skim without missing the plot? Kate reveals how this book made her feel about being a writer at a young age, what passages she underlined as a teenager, and whether she’d recommend this to other 14 years olds.

Book Imprint is a podcast that asks the question: what is a book that changed your life before the age of 25? It doesn’t have to be the best book, and it doesn’t have to be your favorite book; it’s about how it affected you. Each episode, a guest shares a book that they feel changed them in some way, at a young age.
