Modlitwa za Owena

by: John Irving (author)

Kim jest Owen Meany? Ofiarą ślepego trafu czy też wizjonerem, który przejrzał zamysły samego Boga? Nowym Mesjaszem czy bluźniercą? Zbiorowym sumieniem pokolenia młodych Amerykanów walczących w Wietnamie czy może wyzwaniem – albo przestrogą? Czy Owen Meany urodził się za wcześnie, czy też za późno, czy we właściwym miejscu i czasie stał się narzędziem w rękach przeznaczenia? Owen Meany to Głos, dobywający się z gardła od urodzenia ukształtowanego do krzyku, to ręka odbijająca piłkę beseballową, która kończy pewien nudny mecz, lecz daje także początek lawinie niesamowitych wydarzeń, historii osobliwej i wzruszającej, okraszonej czarnym humorem, pełnej mrocznego, gorzkiego symbolizmu.

text A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving

A tidbit I learned whilst reading was that much like the narrator, John Wheelwright, John Irving's mother never revealed the identity of his father to him. Apparently this book contains a lot of Irving's biography (well mixed with fiction) which may interest someone, but not really me. The thought...

Synopsis: "I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice—not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany."
