Continues the saga of anti-hero E.J. Watson, an entrepreneurial sugar-cane farmer in the Everglades, exile in Indian territory, devoted husband, distant father, and allegedly, a cold-blooded killer.
Review:
"Since, as readers of the previous books, we know the story, the novel sometimes seems to be trudging through old business....But the latter half shifts back toward the eerie energy of the first book....Hearing the story from Watson himself, we know pretty much what he did and didn't do. Yet Matthiessen has Watson tell enough lies to keep us off balance."
Roger Gathman, Salon, 04/13/1999

Bone by Bone (ISBN: 0375701818 / 0-375-70181-8) Matthiessen, Peter Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: VINTAGE, 2000. PaperBack. Book Condition: New. In BONE BY BONE, Peter Matthiessen speaks in the extraordinary voice of the enigmatic and dangerous E.J. Watson, whom readers first saw, obliquely, through the eyes of his early 20th-century Everglades community in 'Killing Mister Watson.' This astonishing new novel, calling to account the violence, virulent racism, and destructio nof the land that fueled the so-called American Dream, points an accusing finger straight into the burning eyes of Uncle Sam. Here is the bloodied child of the Civil War and Reconstruction who dreams of recovering the family plantation: he becomes the gifted cane planter nearing success on a wilderness river when he gives in fatally to his accumulating demons. 410p.

Bone by Bone (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780375701818) Matthiessen, Peter Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 1st Vintage International Ed. 202 x 133 mm. Brand New Book. "Watson's voice is an artistic triumph. . .[Bone by Bone] may well come to be regarded as a classic." --"San Francisco Chronicle Book Review" In Bone by Bone, Peter Matthiessen speaks in the extraordinary voice of the enigmatic and dangerous E. J. Watson, whom we first saw, obliquely, through the eyes of his early twentieth-century Everglades community in Killing Mister Watson. This astonishing new novel, calling to account the violence, virulent racism, and destruction of the land that fueled the so-called American Dream, points an accusing finger straight into the burning eyes of Uncle Sam. Here is the bloodied child of the Civil War and Reconstruction who dreams of recovering the family plantation. He becomes the gifted cane planter nearing success on a wilderness river when he gives in fatally to his accumulating demons. Powerfully imagined, prodigiously detailed, Bone by Bone is a literary tour de force as bold and ambitious as Watson himself. "Like a true tragic figure, [Watson] knows and understands; he does not wriggle to save his own skin," said "The New York Times." "This is a work of genuine dignity.".
