BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from John Irving's In One Person.
In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constableโs girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos Countyโto Boston, to southern Vermont, to Torontoโpursued 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 depicts the recent half-century in the United States as โa living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.โ What further distinguishesLast Night in Twisted Riverย is the authorโs unmistakable voiceโthe inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.
