Last night in Twisted River [ang.]

Autor: Irving, John

   Notka biograficzna  

In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable`s girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County - to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto - pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them.

In a story spanning five decades, Last

Night in Twisted River John Irving`s twelfth novel - depicts the half-century in the United States as “a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course". From the novel`s taut opening sentence - “The young Canadian, who could not have been more than fifteen, had hesitated too long" - to its elegial final chapter, Last Night in Twisted River is written with the historical authenticity and emotional authority of The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany. It is also as violent and disturbing a story as John Irvingis breakthrough bestseller, The World According to Garp.
