Hardback. Zustand: Good. The second novel in the Watson trilogy by one of the rare American writers to be nominated for the National Book Award in both fiction and nonfiction.Lucius Watson is hell-bent on discovering the truth about his father, EJ Watson. Was he a dedicated family guy, a visionary farmer, or a man of progress? Was he a cold-blooded killer and amoral opportunist, or was he something else entirely? Were his neighbors compelled to murder him because they were afraid of him? Or was it a case of jealousy? Should the neighbors be afraid of the preoccupied Lucius when he returns to live among them and asks inquiries if Watson was a murderer? The protagonists in this story are men and women who have been shaped by the harsh elements of the Florida Everglades--an isolated species, descendants of renegades and pioneers who have only their grit, instinct, and tradition to wield against the obliterating forces of twentieth-century progress: Speck Daniels, moonshiner and alligator poacher turned gunrunner; Sally Brown, who fights to escape the prejudice and xenophobia that plagues her community; and othersLost Man's River explores the basic relationship between a dangerous father and his desperate kids, as well as the ways in which his death has impacted their lives, in a drama of epic breadth and ambition.
