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 recent 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 elegiac 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 Irving’s breakthrough bestseller， The World According to Garp.

What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author’s unmistakable voice–the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller. Near the end of this moving novel， John Irving writes： “We don’t always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes， people fall into our lives cleanly–as if out of the sky， or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth–the same sudden way we lose people， who once seemed they would always be part of our lives.” John Irving published his first novel, Setting Free the Bears, in 1968. He has been nominated for a National Book Award three times–winning once, in 1980, for the novel The World According to Garp. He also received an O. Henry Award, in 1981, for the short story “Interior Space.” In 1992, Mr. Irving was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In 2000, he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules–a film with seven Academy Award nominations. In 2001, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Last Night in Twisted River is John Irving’s twelfth novel.
