About the book: 2018 / A father and son live in a quiet lumberjack village, surrounded by deep northern forests. Unlike their rowdy neighbors, they are not particularly interested in drinking or women; they lead a calm, measured life. However, an incredible, crazy incident that could only happen in a John Irving book forces them to flee. They set off on a desperate journey across America, sparkling with neon lights, and in their wake comes a ruthless policeman named Cowboy with his old Colt... “Last Night at the Winding River” is a brilliant, unforgettable novel from one of the greatest prose writers of our time!
