Product Description
Watershed
Author: Percival Everett
Format: Paperback
‘American literature’s philosopher king – and its sharpest satirist’ – The New Yorker In Watershed, Percival Everett, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel James, turns his focus once again to the injustices of recent American history, exploring the relationship between Native American activists and Black Panther groups who bonded over their shared enemies in the 1960s Civil Rights movement. On a windswept landscape somewhere north of Denver, Robert Hawks, a feisty and dangerously curious hydrologist, finds himself enmeshed in a fight over Native American treaty rights.
What begins for Robert as a peaceful fishing interlude ends in murder and the disclosure of government secrets. Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.
