✦ Synopsis


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 Countyβ€”to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Torontoβ€”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 depicts the recent half-century in the United States as β€œa living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.” What further distinguishesLast Night in Twisted Riveris the author’s unmistakable voiceβ€”the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.
