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 CountryMagnificent . . . 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 TimesPeter 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 DeLilloThe 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 FordShadow Country, Matthiessens distillation of the earlier Watson saga, represents his original vision.
