A tragicomic saga from the famous author of Garp's World Through the Eyes and The New Hampshire Hotel, The Cider House Rules and Men Not in Her Life, Last Night on the Winding River and The Son of the Circus, panoramic burlesque similar to like Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut or Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. This story about a boy who knows no doubts, who acquires a strange power over people and the very course of things, is full of mystical coincidences and mirror repetitions, which in turn repeat - sometimes ironically - the plot of the Gospel. How is it that eleven-year-old Owen Meany, after accidentally killing his best friend's mother, leads him to God? Why does a frail, lop-eared child speaking in falsetto, like Christ, foresee his fate: he knows exactly when and how he will die? According to Stephen King, "no one has ever shown Christ like Irving in his novel."
