Synopsis: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER ¬タレᅢトᅡ깗¬タᅠ 'Altogether gripping, shocking, and brilliantly told, not just a tour de force in its stylistic range,ᅡᆲ¬タᅠbut 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.ᅡᆲ¬タᅠPraise 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 ᅡᆲ¬タᅠ'The fiction of Peter Maᅡᆲ¬ノᅠᅡᆲ¬ノᅠtthiessen is the reason a lot of people in my generationᅡᆲ¬タᅠdecided to be writers. No doubt about it. Shadow Country lives up to anyone's highestᅡᆲ¬タᅠexpectations for great writing.' 'Richard Fordᅡᆲ¬タᅠ'Shadow Country, Matthiessen's distillation of the earlier Watson saga,ᅡᆲ¬タᅠrepresents his original vision. It is the quintessence of his lifelong concerns, and a great legacy.''W. S. Merwinᅡᆲ¬タᅠ '[An] epic masterpiece . . . a great American novel.''The Miami Herald
