Last Night in Twisted River (Used)

John Irving's novel opens in 1954 at a New Hampshire logging camp, where a fatal accident forces twelve-year-old Daniel Baciagalupo and his cook father Dominic to flee, mistakenly believed responsible for a local constable's tragic loss. Their decades-long flight takes them through Boston, Iowa's Writers' Workshop, Vermont, and Toronto, as Daniel — writing under the pen name Danny Angel — becomes a novelist himself. The pursuit finally catches up with them in 2001, in a violent reckoning that echoes the story's opening, framing a novel about fathers, sons, and the writer's life.
