Hardback. Condition: Fair. 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 TimesPeter Matthiessen has done great things with the Watson trilogy.

No doubt about it. Shadow Country lives up to anyone's highest expectations for great writing. --Richard Ford Shadow Country, Matthiessen's distillation of the earlier Watson saga, represents his original vision. It is the quintessence of his lifelong concerns, and a great legacy.--W. S. Merwin An] epic masterpiece . . . a great American novel.--The Miami Herald. Seller Inventory # CIN0679640193A
