Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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 - John Irving's twelfth novel - 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'. From the novel's taut opening sentence - 'The young Canadian, who could not have been more than fifteen, had hesitated too long' - to its elegiac final chapter, Last Night in Twisted River is written with the historical authenticity and emotional authority of The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany. It is also as violent and disturbing a story as John Irving's breakthrough bestseller, The World According to Garp. What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author's unmistakable voice - the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller. Near the end of this moving novel, John Irving writes: 'We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly - as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth - the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Condition: Gut. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 732 (4) Seiten. 18 cm. Dünndruckausgabe. Umschlagillustration von Edward Gorey. Guter Zustand. Buchecken minimal eselsohrig. Von der Sehnsucht und der Flüchtigkeit des Glücks. Die Odyssee eines Kochs und seines Sohns durch New Hampshire und halb Amerika, ausgelöst durch eine tragische Verwechslung. Die Geschichte einer großen Liebe und vieler kleiner. - John Winslow Irving (* 2. März 1942 in Exeter, New Hampshire) ist ein US-amerikanischer Romanautor. Werdegang: . Mit 14 Jahren begann John zu ringen und zu schreiben, hatte aber wegen seiner Legasthenie in der Schule große Schwierigkeiten. Im Alter von 19 Jahren wusste er, was er wollte: Ringen und Romane schreiben. (Zitat: Schreiben ist wie Ringen. Man braucht Disziplin und Technik. Man muss auf eine Geschichte zugehen wie auf einen Gegner.") Irving studierte ab 1961 an der Universität von Pittsburgh englische Literatur, dann, 1962/1963, zwei Semester in Wien, wo er die Idee zu seinem ersten Roman hatte: Er verbrachte seine Zeit im Tiergarten und in Kaffeehäusern (da es in seinem Zimmer zu kalt war), fuhr Motorrad, las Die Blechtrommel von Günter Grass und schrieb, davon inspiriert, sein erstes Buch Laßt die Bären los!, das 1968 erschien. Nach der Zeit in Wien ging Irving auf die Universität von New Hampshire, wo er 1965 mit dem Bachelor abschloss. Seinen Master of Fine Arts schloss er 1967 in Iowa ab und trat anschließend eine Dozentenstelle an einem College in Vermont an. Da er nach seinem dritten Roman der Meinung war, sein bisheriger Verlag würde ihn nur unzureichend unterstützen, brachte er sein viertes Buch Garp und wie er die Welt sah bei einem anderen Verlag heraus und schaffte damit seinen Durchbruch. Der Roman erzählt die Lebensgeschichte des Schriftstellers T. S. Garp und seiner feministischen Mutter. Der Erfolg war so überwältigend, dass Irving sich fortan vollständig der Schriftstellerei widmen konnte und seine Dozententätigkeit aufgab. . Themen und Motive: Die unwahrscheinlichsten, oftmals äußerst skurrilen und makaberen Begebenheiten, die gleichzeitig wiederum ins Urkomische übergehen, zeichnen John Irvings Romane aus. Der Ton ist tragikomisch. Gesellschaftliche Tabus werden gebrochen. Diese vielfachen Überzeichnungen und Verzerrungen führen zu grotesken Satiren auf die amerikanische Gesellschaft. Ein weiteres Hauptthema sind die Höhen und Tiefen zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen, die er meistens überdeutlich und krass darstellt: . ich habe schon immer über Menschen geschrieben, die mit irgendeinem Verlust leben müssen ganz egal, ob sie ein Körperteil verloren haben, einen geliebten Menschen oder Kinder. Wenn es Themen gibt, die sich ständig wiederholen in fast all meinen Büchern, dann sind es die Themen Verlust und Gewalt, die bizarr und völlig unerwartet passieren. Ich sehe jeden verdammten Tag Dinge in meiner Fantasie, die schrecklicher sind als der 11. September." Einige Motive sind in Irvings Romanen häufig aufzufinden: Körperbetonte Sportarten (Ringen, Football); wiederkehrende Regionalbezüge, bzw. Schauplätze (Maine, New Hampshire, Staten Island, auch Europa, v.a. Wien und Amsterdam); Charakteristika von Figuren (schüchterne Männer, starke Frauenfiguren, vaterlos aufwachsende Söhne, Prostituierte), von Beziehungen (sexuelle Beziehungen zwischen älteren Frauen und jüngeren Männern, Inzest, häufig homoerotische Beziehungen) und von Milieus (Rotlichtmilieus, Internatsschulen, Hotels / Pensionen, Zirkus) sowie die Schriftstellerei, Motorräder, Religion und immer wieder Bären. Manche Kritiker werfen Irving vor, sehr autobiographisch zu schreiben und sich ständig zu wiederholen; ein Problem, mit dem er sich auch in Witwe für ein Jahr auseinandersetzt. Irvings größtes literarisches Vorbild ist Charles Dickens. . Aus wikipedia-John_Irving Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 540.
