Not to mention a Colorado connection - Heller lives in Denver.
“The River” is Heller’s fourth work of fiction, and it recalls his debut, “The Dog Stars,” with its poetic, staccato sentences and masterfully crafted prose.
They’re on a long canoeing trip in northern Canada that unexpectedly takes a turn into part mystery (a man, likely in shock, whose wife has gone missing in the woods) and part action-adventure (there’s a giant, hellish forest fire burning behind them). Jack and Wynn are college buddies, men whose friendship has been forged by their mutual love of books and the outdoors. On the page, it’s referring to the northern lights, but it’s also a perfect description of the captivating and poetic thriller: “It was terrifying and unutterably beautiful.”
There is a line in Peter Heller’s newest book, “The River,” that one could use to explain it. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu
