Shadow Country
Peter Matthiessen's novel Shadow Country is an exhaustive and exhausting fictionalized biography of the life and times of one E.J. Watson, who pioneered the Florida Everglades around the turn of the nineteenth century. Being a combination of three previous books on the subject, which I haven't read, it is nearly 900 pages long, set in three parts, which most likely follow those three books, but I can't be certain. The first part is a Rashomanesque telling of Watson, and particularly his death at the hands of his neighbors following a devastating hurricane, by a great number of people who knew him or lived around him. Some of this is in the form of letters and diary entries, but most is in the form of short first person narratives. The second part is a long obsessive ... Peter Matthiessen's novel Shadow Country is an exhaustive and exhausting fictionalized biography of the life and times of one E.J. Watson, who pioneered the Florida Everglades around the turn of the nineteenth century. Being a combination of three previous books on the subject, which I haven't read, it is nearly 900 pages long, set in three parts, which most likely follow those three books, but I can't be certain. The first part is a Rashomanesque telling of Watson, and particularly his death at the hands of his neighbors following a devastating hurricane, by a great number of people who knew him or lived around him. Some of this is in the form of letters and diary entries, but most is in the form of short first person narratives. The second part is a long obsessive search for the truth about Watson, particularly with regards to the many murders attributed to him, by his son Lucius, under the thin guise of historical research. The third part, the longest but most interesting, is a first person narrative by Watson himself. Since it ends with his dramatic death, one can only ponder just who he was relating it to. Matthiessen is obviously a very accomplished writer, and his verbage about the natural world is never tiresome, as can too often be the case. His ear for vernacular and ability to translate it into readable dialogue is spot on. My main criticism of Shadow Country is a sense of untruth when he attempts to give some of his characters, particularly Watson himself, a modern conscience and perspective on rascism and environmental sensitivity. It is when these concerns come up that I feel Matthiessen's authorial intrusion, and the characters falsified. One never gets this feeling reading Faulkner because he shows, rather than telling. Also Faulkner grew up around his people, as opposed to bringing an East Coast intellectual set of preconceived notions to bear on his adult observations, as I strongly suspect Matthiessen did and does. Of course, it is most likely this perceived flaw that garnered so much praise from critics with similar backgrounds and notions.
