En bøn for Owen Meany

Owen Meany er navnet på en lille dreng fra provinsbyen Gravesend i New Hampshire. Han er i besiddelse af en skarp intelligens, stor autoritet og en bemærkelsesværdig skinger stemme. I en baseballkamp slår han som 11-årig en skæv bold, der rammer og dræber hans bedste vens mor. Men Owen Meany tror ikke på tilfældigheder, han mener, at han nu er Guds redskab. John Weelright er Owens bedste ven, og det er ham, der fortæller historien om de to drenges hjertegribende og groteske opvækst.

"Man ler, så tårerne triller ... vittigt, smukt og inderligt skrevet." – Jyllands Posten

John Irving er født i Exeter, New Hampshire, i 1942. Han debuterede med romanen "Slip bjørnene fri" i 1968 og brød igennem ti år senere med "Verden ifølge Garp", der blev en stor international succes. Flere af John Irvings romaner er filmatiserede.
