After a three novel fixation on sex both domestic and abroad, John Irving makes a triumphant return to the literary landscape of The World According to Garp (Modern Library) in his twelfth novel, Last Night in Twisted River. Father Dominic Baciagalupo, a cook for a logging community, and his son Daniel are co-protagonists in a story about manhood, family, love, friendship, a whole lot of cooking, and of course sex (though the sexual exploits of the characters dont overwhelm the story). At first its the world of logging that pulls you into the story, much as the waters of Twisted River pull young logger Angel Pope into an early death in the novels first sentence.
