Great Books Disc Group - "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving | |
|
|
Event Type: Adults Age Group(s): Adults Date: 3/21/2017 Start Time: 7:00 PM End Time: 8:30 PM Description: Eleven-year-old Owen Meany, playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire, hits a foul ball and kills his best friend's mother. Owen doesn't believe in accidents; he believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul is both extraordinary and terrifying. At moments a comic, self-deluded victim, but in the end the principal, tragic actor in a divine plan, Owen Meany is considered by many critiques to be the most heartbreaking hero John Irving has yet created.
