About this product
Product Information
Peter Matthiessen is one of America's most respected writers and one of the very few National Book Award winners nominated for both fiction and nonfiction.Bone by Boneis arguably his finest novel. Although it stands alone, it is also the capstone of the Watson trilogy, which has been described by the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review as "one of the grand projects of contemporary literature." In the critically acclaimedKilling Mister Watson, Peter Matthiessen brilliantly re-created the life of the legendary E. J. Watson, who was gunned down by a posse of fearful neighbors before World War I. In his masterful sequel, Lost Man's River, Matthiessen returned us to the lawless frontier of the Florida Everglades, where Watson's son Lucius sought to untangle the knot of truth and lies surrounding his notorious father and his strange death. And now, in Bone by Bone, the story unfolds in its final form, in the voice of the enigmatic Mister Watson himself. From his early days as an impoverished child of the Reconstruction era, through the unjust loss of his inherited plantation, to his bloody death in front of his loving wife and children, E. J. Watson was capable of vision and ingenuity, mercy and courage, and sudden, astonishing violence. He was an entrepreneurial sugarcane farmer in the uncharted waterways of the Everglades, an exile in the Indian territories, a devoted father, and, allegedly, the killer of numerous men. He was forced to flee home and family time after time. InBone by Bone, Peter Matthiessen has accomplished the writer's ultimate challenge: He has laid bare the humanity at the heart of a dangerous and controversial figure and, in doing so, has added to our understanding of the abiding mystery of human nature.

Reviews
"[Matthiessen's] moral anguish is inescapable, and he can write like an avenging angel." --Time Killing Mister Watson "What a marvel of invention this novel is . . . a virtuoso performance. Killing Mister Watson is Peter Matthiessen at his best." --The New York Times Book Review "This novel stands with the best that our nation has produced as literature. . . . As a philosophical study of the quality of human--and all--nature, [it] is first-rate. As political allegory, it is stunning." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "Intricately structured, richly documented, utterly convincing." --The Washington Post Book World "Like Twain and Faulkner, Matthiessen has mastered the knack of achieving a literary effect without violating the authenticity of an unlettered voice." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "An important and deeply satisfying book, and one that may justifiably be compared to the very finest of American novels." --St. Petersburg Times Lost Man's River "A project of enormous ambition . . . Some of the most moving passages . . . are not about people but about the land they simultaneously love and fear." --The New York Times Book Review "One of the grand projects of contemporary literature . . . [Matthiessen is] a superb stylist." --San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Fuses elegant tale-telling with terrible realities." --The Miami Herald "Elegant . . . epic . . . awesome." --St. Petersburg Times "Mystery is the essence of Matthiessen's continuing saga. It is the essence of fine art, of great beauty, of existence itself." --San Francisco Examiner
