The earliest Native American writers wrote tribal histories or autobiographical accounts. Today, Native American writing is steeped in the oral traditions of many peoples and reflects a facility with language that is equally at home in prose or poetry.
Native American Literatures is a sourcebook that can enhance any reader's appreciation of both the writers and their works. Cross referencing allows readers to move easily among the listings, guiding them to other examples of an author's works and from character to character within a given novel.
"This current, affordable title covers Native American poetry, fiction, and prose. It lists more than 300 alphabetically arranged entries, divided into four types: individual authors, individual works, important characters in works, and terms or events of historical importance. Summaries and interpretive information on texts that would be of use to high school and undergraduate students are provided. This volume would be a useful addition to public and academic libraries."----"Outstanding reference sources 2000", American Libraries, May 2000. Comp. by the Reference Sources Committee, RUSA, ALA.

Native American Literatures: An Encyclopedia of Works, Characters, Authors, and Themes
This would be a good intro for someone who knew nothing about cyberpunk and its greater context in postmodern literature. However, I had read most of the fiction here before, and the nonfiction essays tended to be a bit beyond me. The book as a whole tends toward the dry and academic and, while you don't need a graduate degree in postmodern literature to follow all the references, I expect it would help. I enjoyed learning a few new tidbits about the predecessors and influences of cyberpunk, and I did discover a few new authors to add to my reading list. The best thing in this collection is the interview with William Gibson, in which he explains his relationship to technology and why the fact that he doesn't know much about computers isn't actually relevant to his stories.
