N. Scott Momaday. HOUSE MADE OF DAWN. Harper & Row, 1966 & 1989. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Absolutely beautiful. Incorporates some pages from The WAY to RAINY MOUNTAIN. Abel returns to the reservation from war, from prison, from the city, and participates in ceremony.
N. Scott Momaday. The WAY to RAINY MOUNTAIN. UNewMexico, 1969. An anniversary edition. Read in honour of the writer who died recently. Watched a PBS doc on him last week.
I have read a lot of work by Indigenous writers and this is by far the most beautifully written. Kiowa story-telling techniques braided with memory and archaeology reports. Illustrated by the writer's father.
N. Scott Momaday won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his HOUSE MADE of DAWN.
