Discover the many lives of Peter Matthiessen - writer, naturalist, activist, CIA agent, Zen master - in this kaleidoscopic biography of an American literary giant. 

Author of The Snow Leopard, co-founder of the Paris Review, and the only writer to have ever won the National Book Award for both fiction and nonfiction, Matthiessen was a towering figure of 20th-century American literary culture. He was also, briefly, an undercover agent for the early CIA; an environmental activist; an advocate for Native American rights and California farmworkers; friends with the likes of Truman Capote and William Styron; and a daring explorer who visited every continent on Earth, scaling the Himalayas and floating through the Amazon on a balsawood raft.
