Summary:
"A story of a father and a son - fugitives in 20th-century North America. In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, a twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. 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
depicts the recent half-century in the United States as a world "where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course."--Publisher.
