NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER âĒ âAltogether 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.ââMichael Dirda, The New York Review of Books
Killing Mister Watson, Lost Manâs River, and Bone by BoneâPeter Matthiessenâs great American epic about Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth centuryâwere 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.Â
Praise for Shadow Country
âMagnificent . . . breathtaking . . . Finally now we have [this three-part saga] welded like a bell, and with Watsonâs song the last sound, all the elements fuse and resonate.ââLos Angeles Times
âPeter Matthiessen has done great things with the Watson trilogy. Itâs the story of our continent, both land and people, and his writing does every justice to the blood fury of his themes.ââDon DeLillo
 âThe fiction of Peter MaÂÂtthiessen is the reason a lot of people in my generation decided to be writers. No doubt about it. Shadow Country lives up to anyoneâs highest expectations for great writing.â âRichard FordÂ
âShadow Country, Matthiessenâs distillation of the earlier Watson saga, represents his original vision. It is the quintessence of his lifelong concerns, and a great legacy.ââW. S. MerwinÂ
â[An] epic masterpiece . . . a great American novel.ââThe Miami Herald
