Matthiessen's masterfully-written novel centered around Florida sugar planter and notorious outlaw E.J. Watson. Due to the length, his publisher originally published this as three separate novels Killing Mister Watson, Lost Man's River, and Bone By Bone; in this new rendering, the author has trimmed nearly a third of it's original length, and extensively re-written portions of character narrative throughout. Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 2008.
