Introduction

"Our Presidents continue to pour the soothing syrup. But some of our most talented novelists see the political condition of American society as a disaster, the temper of many Americans as correspondingly dangerous. In A Prayer for Owen Meany John Irving makes it all too plain, and with positive rage, that in his eyes American society has been a moral disaster since the 1960's." Michael Anderson, New York Times, March 12, 1989. Read the whole review.
