Viac o knihe

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 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.” What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author’s unmistakable voice—the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.

Knihy Johna Irvinga se zdá mají vždy společného jmenovatele.....osiřelé dítě, zápasnický sport, jeden rodič a touha stát se spisovatelem. Začátky knih jsou náročné, ale když se autorovi podaří vtáhnout vás do děje, potom se kniha špatně odkládá. I lokace příběhů je podobná, pokud člověk byl v Nové Anglii, rád se tam těmito knihami vrací. Příběh je moc pěkný, čtivý a miluji jeho nekonečná souvětí se stále se opakujícími nezkrácenými jmény, která charakterizují postavy.....
