Description
Twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. His father and he become fugitives, pursued by the constable, with only a fiercely libertarian logger as their protector. Spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River depicts a world where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course. John Irving's distinctive voice guides the reader through this story from its taut opening sentence to its elegiac final chapter. A nuanced exploration of family life, friendship and crime, this novel showcases Irving's masterful storytelling.
