Informazioni sull'autore
Peter Matthiessen was born in New York City in 1927 and had already begun his writing career by the time he graduated from Yale University in 1950. The following year, he was a founder of The Paris Review. Besides At Play in the Fields of the Lord, which was nominated for the National Book Award, he has published six other works of fiction, including Far Tortuga and Killing Mister Watson. Mr. Matthiessen's parallel career as a naturalist and explorer has resulted in numerous widely acclaimed books of nonfiction, among them The Tree Where Man Was Born, which was nominated for the National Book Award, and The Snow Leopard, which won it.

essen is one of the few American writers ever nominated for the National Book Award for both fiction and nonfiction.
When his novel Killing Mister Watson was published in 1990, the reviews were extraordinary. It was heralded as "a marvel of invention . . . a virtuoso performance" (The New York Times Book Review) and a "novel [that] stands with the best that our nation has produced as literature" (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

Hardback. Condizione: 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.
