Nine-Headed Dragon River by Peter Matthiessen
In August 1968, naturalist-explorer Peter Matthiessen returned from Africa to his home in Sagaponack, Long Island, to find three Zen masters in his driveway--guests of his wife, a new student of Zen. Thirteen years later, Matthiessen was ordained a Buddhist monk. Written in the same format as his best-selling The Snow Leopard, Nine-Headed Dragon River reveals Matthiessen's most daring adventure of all: the quest for his spiritual roots.Peter Cunningham was born and raised in Waterford, the place that inspired Monument, the town in Love in One Edition. The Sea and the Silence (Gemma 2010), Consequences of the Heart (Gemma 2011), and Tapes of the River Delta (Gemma 2012) are his previous Monument novels. He has written a number of thrillers, both under his own name and under pseudonyms, as well as the books Who Trespass Against Us (London, 1993), Taoiseach (London, 2004), and Capital Sins (Dublin, 2010) in the UK and Ireland. He is a member of the Irish Academy of Letters, Aosdana.
