A breathtaking story of a father and a son in 20th-century North America from the award-winning author of A Prayer for Owen Meany.
John Irving has been nominated for a National Book Award three times, winning it in 1980 for The World According to Garp. In 1992, he was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In 2000, he won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules - a film with seven Academy Award nominations. Last Night in Twisted River is his twelfth novel.
Last Night in Twisted River is a big, old-fashioned novel in the
best sense; Irving has created in painstaking, loving detail a
whole and complete world, a record of momentous social changes,
but, above all a testament to the enduring power of love and
fiction
