Actually I also think Irving's use of all caps is also very clever - how else could we be as cognizant of Owen's unique voice, although I still have trouble imagining what he might have sounded like.

Hi Mair,
As far as his voice goes, I was starting to hear (while I was reading) that kid's voice (in my head) from "The Shining" talking: "REDRUM"! But, his voice is supposed to be thin and high from what I remember. What *is* weird about the voice (that stuck in my head) was how his grandmother (after being quite senile), instantly recognized it.
The parents? It sounds like a Jenny Fields type of thing like he did in Garp. Perhaps the *secret* of his father is revealed later? That will be interesting.
