This landmark one-volume reworking of Matthiessen's Watson trilogy--"Killing Mister Watson," "Lost Man's River," and "Bone by Bone"--reveals one of America's finest writes at the peak of his career.
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER Altogether gripping, shocking, and brilliantly told, not just a tour de force in its stylistic range, but a great American novel, as powerful a reading experience as nearly any in our literature. Michael Dirda, The New York Review of Books
Killing Mister Watson, Lost Man s River, and Bone by Bone Peter Matthiessen s great American epic about Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth century were originally conceived as one vast, mysterious novel. Now, in this bold new rendering, Matthiessen has marvelously distilled a monumental work while deepening the insights and motivations of his characters with brilliant rewriting throughout.
Praise for Shadow Country
Magnificent . . . breathtaking . . . Finally now we have [this three-part saga] welded like a bell, and with Watson s song the last sound, all the elements fuse and resonate. Los Angeles Times
Peter Matthiessen has done great things with the Watson trilogy. It s the story of our continent, both land and people, and his writing does every justice to the blood fury of his themes. Don DeLillo
The fiction of Peter Matthiessen is the reason a lot of people in my generation decided to be writers. No doubt about it. Shadow Country lives up to anyone s highest expectations for great writing. Richard Ford
