About the Author
<b>Peter Matthiessen</b> was born in New York City in 1927 and had already begun his writing career by the time he graduated from Yale University in 1950. The following year, he was a founder of The Paris Review.

From the Inside Flap
essen is one of America's most respected writers and one of the very few National Book Award winners nominated for both fiction and nonfiction. <b>Bone by Bone</b> is arguably his finest novel. Although it stands alone, it is also the capstone of the Watson trilogy, which has been described by the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review as "one of the grand projects of contemporary literature." <br> <br>In the critically acclaimed <i>Killing Mister Watson</i>, Peter Matthiessen brilliantly re-created the life of the legendary E.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Watson's voice is an artistic triumph. . .[Bone by Bone] may well come to be regarded as a classic. --San Francisco Chronicle Book Review In Bone by Bone, Peter Matthiessen speaks in the extraordinary voice of the enigmatic and dangerous E. J. Watson, whom we first saw, obliquely, through the eyes of his early twentieth-century Everglades community in Killing Mister Watson. This astonishing new novel, calling to account the violence, virulent racism, and destruction of the land that fueled the so-called American Dream, points an accusing finger straight into the burning eyes of Uncle Sam. Here is the bloodied child of the Civil War and Reconstruction who dreams of recovering the family plantation. He becomes the gifted cane planter nearing success on a wilderness river when he gives in fatally to his accumulating demons. Powerfully imagined, prodigiously detailed, Bone by Bone is a literary tour de force as bold and ambitious as Watson himself. Like a true tragic figure, [Watson] knows and understands; he does not wriggle to save his own skin, said The New York Times. This is a work of genuine dignity. Seller Inventory # 00097386466
