Titel: Shadow Country Auteur: Peter Matthiessen ISBN: 9780812980622 Conditie: Used 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 Mans River, and Bone by BonePeter Matthiessens great American epic about Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth centurywere 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 Watsons song the last sound, all the elements fuse and resonate.Los Angeles Times Peter Matthiessen has done great things with the Watson trilogy. Its 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 anyones highest expectations for great writing. Richard Ford Shadow Country, Matthiessens 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
