For the final Twomey Series Lecture of 2025, Lance Richardson discusses his eight-year undertaking — including a two-hundred-mile trek in the Himalayas of Nepal — to write a biography of the late Sagaponack resident Peter Matthiessen, novelist, naturalist, and Zen roshi, whose trailblazing work championed Native American rights and helped usher in the modern environmental movement. Matthiessen’s many books include travel classic The Snow Leopard, and also Men’s Lives, a moving account of the lives and struggles of East End Bonackers.
