Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. With gold "National Book Award Winner" sticker to jacket front panel. When first delivered to his publisher, "The Watson Trilogy" would have run to some 1,500 pages. The publisher published the work as three volumes, "Killing Mr. Watson" (1990), "Lost Man's River" (1997), and "Bone by Bone" (1999.) While the three books were generally well received, the author always felt the middle volume, "cut away from the others, became amorphous, reminding me not agreeably of the long belly of a dachshund, slung woefully between its upright sturdy legs." Two decades later, the year set aside for the re-creation of the work grew to six or seven, and the result here is shorter by 400 pages. "The metaphor of the Watson legend," Matthiessen writes in his 2008 introduction,"represents our tragic history of unbridled enterprise and racism and the ongoing erosion of our human habitat as these affect the lives of those living too close to the bone. . . ." Sixth printing of the 2008 "first edition" of this "new rendering." 892 pp., here reduced from $39.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inspired by a near-mythic event of the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth century, SHADOW COUNTRY reimagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson, who drives himself to his own violent end at the hands of his neighbours. His son Lucius investigates the killing which has come to obsess him. In this bold new rendering of the Watson trilogy Matthiessen has deepened the insights and motivations of his characters, consolidating his fictional masterwork into a poetic, compelling novel of a monumental scope and ambition, with breathtaking accomplishment.
