Shadow Country (Hollis)

Shadow Country by Peter Matthiessen
Note: Shadow Country is a distillation of three novels, Killing Mr. Watson, Lost Man's River, and Bone by Bone.
Book 1
October 24, 1910 - several different narrators each giving their impression of E. J. Watson and his death .
Note 2: Shadow Country if a remarkable book but is extremely difficult to read, particularly for a close reader. There are numerable characters and if the reader wants to keep up with each person and their role in the story. While I am glad to have read it, I am not sure I would do it again.

Tomorrow: Book 2


Tales of Harper, short stories and poems about the fictional town of Harper, Mississippi is available on Amazon Kindle
