In this award-winning audiobook by John Irving, the story unfolds in the summer of 1953, where two 11-year-old best friends play Little League baseball in Gravesend, New Hampshire. A tragic accident occurs when one boy hits a foul ball that kills the other's mother, prompting complex beliefs about fate and divine purpose, particularly for the boy named Owen Meany, who considers himself God's instrument. This audio production features the distinct narration of Joe Barrett, chosen by Irving himself, bringing the unique dialogue to life. Additionally, listeners can enjoy an exclusive interview with Jim Atlas following the main content.
