John Irving's seventh novel begins in 1953, as Owen Meany and his best friend, both 11, are playing in a Little League baseball game. Owen hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. Owen doesn't believe in accidents; he's convinced he is God's instrument. What happens to him after that foul ball is both extraordinary and terrifying.
