About the Book: Watershed
'American literatures philosopher king and its sharpest satirist The New Yorker
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. In Watershed, Percival
Everett 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.
