Description: Very good 1st edition 1st printing of John Irving's novel A Prayer For Owen Meany. Book is solid although edges have slight age discoloration. Dust Cover is unblemished. Covered in Brodart protective cover. 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 the most heartbreaking hero John Irving has yet created.
