J. Watson on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth century-were originally conceived as one vast, mysterious novel.

Finally now we have [this three-part saga] welded like a bell, and with Watson's song the last sound, all the elements fuse and resonate."-Los Angeles Times"Peter Matthiessen has done great things with the Watson trilogy. It's the story of our continent, both land and people, and his writing does every justice to the blood fury of his themes."-Don DeLillo "The 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 anyone's highest expectations for great writing." -Richard Ford "Shadow Country, Matthiessen's distillation of the earlier Watson saga, represents his original vision. It is the quintessence of his lifelong concerns, and a great legacy."-W. S. Merwin "[An] epic masterpiece . . . a great American novel."-The Miami Herald.
