Goodreads asked Greg Paul:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Greg Paul The first couple that came to mind was Owen Meany and Hester the Molester, from John Irving's great book A Prayer for Owen Meany. They're both such strange but compelling individuals, and their relationship is even stranger - it shouldn't work, but it does; it sometimes doesn't look much like love, but it really is. I think they may be the two most interesting characters this terrific novelist has ever created.
