I am sorry to hear that Peter Matthiessen has died, although 86 is a fine run. Matthiessen was one of the last survivors of a generation of American writers who came of age after World War II and who all seemed to know one another, socializing in New York and on Long Island’s East End as a kind of movable literary salon peopled by the likes of William Styron, James Jones, Kurt Vonnegut and E. L. Doctorow. The first book I read of his was The Snow Leopard and it made a tremendous impact on me.
