Does /lit/ like Peter Matthiessen?

Is the revised edition of Shadow Country better than the original trilogy?

dont know ho but thats an unusually good picture portrait

They should but i guess there arent enough memes about him for anyone to care. "Lumumba Lives" is one of the best short stories i've read.

I'm reading The Snow Leopard right now, awesome stuff.

>>8320084
Read The Snow Leopard, Far Tortuga, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, The Tree Where Men Was Born and Men's Lives.

Do it now.

I only liked the first volume, Killing Mister Watson. Didn't care for the second, never read the third. I havent read the revision.
This doesn't really answer your question. I just felt like stating my opinion.
The Snow Leopard and Far Tortuga are excellent btw.

The biggest gangster in all of literature. Founded The Paris Review, possibly the world's leading literary journal, as a front for the CIA. What a fuckin' thug.

Spirit of Crazy Horse is what most intrigues me.

>>8320938
Yeah...about that. Does that play into his writing at all?

I'm a huge Matthiessen fan, I've been working through everything he wrote for a little while. /lit/ seems to have a little love for him but no real good discussions on him ever get going.

What's his best?

He's in the sticky, an anon from a long time ago must have liked him.

There's a lot of books mentioned in the sticky that I've never seen a thread about.

I'd say Far Tortuga, fictionwise. Crazy Horse or Blue Meridian would top out his nonfiction for me.

lol it was probably me, I used to shill hard for him
