Friday, October 29, 2010 – Peter Matthiessen speaks to a wonderful crowd of writers and high schoolers from our area.
He spoke for 2 hours and answered questions.
Autographing in the Red Room.
A Perfect day at The Point!
Matthiessen is considered to be one of the foremost writers of the twentieth century. Described by The New York Times as “one of the most admired and admirable writers of our time,” the author is both a novelist and non-fiction writer as well as a former C.I.A. recruit and American Indian rights advocate, having written the acclaimed “In the Spirit of Crazy Horse.” Matthiessen is also co-founder of the highly influential Paris Review, started in 1953.
The National Book Foundation called his 2008 National Book Award winner, “Shadow Country,” an “epic of American rise and descent – poetic, mythic, devastating.” The book contained Matthiessen’s three famous stand-alone Watson novels, woven together and slimmed down into a modern American epic critics hailed as a “masterpiece.” His other works include the National Book Award-winning “The Snow Leopard,” which has been called a classic of modern nature writing, and “At Play in the Fields of the Lord,” a National Book Award nominee. Matthiessen currently lives in New York.
Hosted by the Resort and Michigan Writers and National Writers Series, this event preceded Matthiessen’s appearance at the City Opera House that evening as part of the National Writers Series.
