  <about><![CDATA[Peter Matthiessen was born in New York City in 1927 and had already begun his writing career by the time he graduated from Yale University in 1950. The following year, he was a founder of The Paris Review. Besides [book: At Play in the Fields of the Lord], which was nominated for the National Book Award, he has published six other works of fiction, including [book: Far Tortuga] and [book: Raditzer]. Mr. Matthiessen's parallel career as a naturalist and explorer has resulted in numerous widely acclaimed books of nonfiction, among them [book: The Snow Leopard], which was awarded the National Book Award for non-fiction. He won the National Book Award for fiction in 2008 for his novel [book: Shadow Country]. He lives in Sagaponack, New York.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>New York City</hometown>  <born_at>05/22/1927</born_at>
