Versatile author Matthiessen visits Berkshires over holidays
Unusually versatile American writer Peter Matthiessen stayed with Dr and Mrs Henry Wheelwright in Lenox over the holidays. A novelist, short story producer, magazine editor and nature writer, he has just published Wildlife in America and will release Raditzer next month. He recently returned from six months in South America for the New Yorker and plans a trip to New Guinea funded by the Peabody Museum of Harvard to study headhunters and wildlife. He co founded The Paris Review in Paris, won early Atlantic First and O Henry awards, and has written about ten short stories for major magazines. He values nonfiction income but remains a fiction writer at heart.
