Fiction / Native American
212 pages
5 Stars
If you have ever wondered what it would be to grow up in two cultures that had little in common, this is the book to read. Abel was such a young man. Native American raised in the old ways, and also raised in the culture of the dominant white man. How does one survive? How does one choose? What happens as he decides?
This is Momaday's first novel, and it is obvious, beautifully so, that he was a poet before a novelist. What a marvelous gift to us!
