The place of Native American cultures in present day America has received precious little authentic attention over the years. Most of us do not engage with the history, nor do we interact with present day Native American cultures to any meaningful degree. Novels like this one can help rectify that lack, can open our minds a bit to consider the heritages that remain, if struggling to survive. Then we can open up further and seek out interactions when they present themselves in our lives, hopefully with a less prejudiced vision. The stories in Anna Linzer's novel, revealing the role of storytelling and visions in the lives of her characters, will carry forward with us, helping is to see more clearly.

A linked collection of Native American-themed stories, set in the Pacific Northwest and Oklahoma, by a gifted new author Story by graceful story, "Ghost Dancing "reveals the evolving worlds of Jimmy One Rock, his wife Mary, and their family as they struggle together on a decaying reservation in the Pacific Northwest. Alternating between Washington state and Jimmy's childhood on an Oklahoma reservation, these stories link past and present through memory, myth, ceremony, and a sly humor that undercuts the reverence of outsiders. In spare yet rich language, Anna Linzer creates a memorable portrait of contemporary Native American life. Here is a collection as open and honest and authentic as the characters that it documents, appealing and accessible, as bittersweet as it is lovely. Readers of Joy Harjo, Leslie Marmon Silko, and N. Scott Momaday will discover these stories with pleasure. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
