The tragicomic saga of John Irving, the largest prose writer of our time, the author of the novels known throughout the world, including the Eyes of the Garp and "Hotel" New Hampshire, "Rules for Winemakers" and the Men of Life, the last night on a winding The river "and the son of the circus". This is a panoramic burlesque, similar in a scale with "massacre number five" Kurt Vonnegut and "Drive-22" Joseph Heller. The story of a boy who does not know doubt, who gains strange power over people and the very course of things. The book is full of mystical coincidences and mirror repetitions, in turn repeating - sometimes ironically - the plot of the Gospel. How did it happen that the eleven -year -old Owen Mini, accidentally killing the mother of his best friend, comes to God? Why will a smart, lop -eared child, like Christ, will see his fate: he knows exactly when and how he will die. According to Stephen King, no one has yet shown Christ as Irving in his novel
