Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, pursued by the 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 world "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, what distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author's unmistakable voice, the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller."

  • "A twisted River circulent des histoires...Celles que les bûcherons racontent dans la chaleur du camp, peuplées d'ours et de sensuelles Indiennes. Et celles qu'ils taisent, comme cette nuit glacée qui a vu la fuite de Dominic et de son fils, après le meurtre accidentel de la maîtresse du shérif. En cavale à travers l'Amérique, ils tentent de semer leur passé. Mais peut-on oublier Twisted River ? [Source : 4eme de couv.]."

  • "Corre el año 1954. La vida en el aserradero de una explotación forestal al norte de New Hampshire no resulta fácil y las desgracias están a la orden del día. Una noche, Dominic Baciagalupo, el cocinero del aserradero, y su hijo Danny, de doce años, se ven obligados a abandonar apresuradamente el lugar cuando Danny, en un fatal accidente, mata a la novia de un alguacil llamado Carl. Dominic y Danny inician entonces una extenuante huida, pues Carl, en su afán de venganza, los perseguirá primero hasta Boston, luego hasta Vermont e Iowa, y finalmente hasta Canada. En cada ciudad a la que lleguen, padre e hijo se verán obligados a adaptarse a las costumbres y personas del lugar, a inventarse una nueva identidad-- . Sin darnos tregua, peripecia tras peripecia, John Irving nos sumerge de lleno en la vida estadounidense durante las últimas cinco décadas del siglo XX."
