“No nothing!” Barb Wiggin... «A Prayer for Owen Meany»
sarcastronaut7 июля 2016“No nothing!” Barb Wiggin insisted. “No touching Baby Jesus.” “But we’re his parents!” proclaimed Mary Beth, who was being generous to include poor Joseph under this appellation. “Mary Beth,” Barb Wiggin said, “if you touch the Baby Jesus, I’m putting you in a cow costume.” And so it came to pass that the Virgin Mary sulked through our rehearsal - a mother denied the tactile pleasures of her own infant! And Owen, who had built a huge nest for himself - in a mountain of hay - appeared to radiate the truly untouchable quality of a deity to be reckoned with, of a prophet who had no doubt.
