Negative Positive
Title: ragged and wonderful
Review: Having met John in Iowa City before Garp was published, BEARS was all I knew of his work. I just re-read it.Despite some lack of polish, it still moves me the most. Could be I love motobikes, could be I know Austria, but mostly it captures the ridiculous intensity and bittersweet nature of relationships at that age.
