Lost Man's River by Peter Matthiessen

Lost Man's River by Peter Matthiessen

When Watson's son Lucius returns to the treacherous wilderness of the Everglades searching for the truth about his father's death, the coast's lawless inhabitants, alligator poachers and moonshiners hold close their secrets, and a deep uneasiness drifts through the region like a low swamp mist.

"With this second volume of the Watson trilogy, it's apparent that Matthiessen is engaged in one of the grand projects of contemporary literature" -- Thomas Christensen * San Francisco Examiner *
"A great writer, one of America's best" -- Paul Watkins * Literary Review *
"The novel has great strengths, the impossible quest for the truth about Ed Watson is a deeper quest for continuity between man and landscape- a truly unattainable goad; and this gives the novel poignancy" * Daily Telegraph *
