Review # 1 was written on 2007-07-05 00:00:00 David P I'm a big fan of native american novels and this one is so strange and so enrapturing. Read it now.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-14 00:00:00 torgeir breilid This is not the easiest book to fall into. There is a surreal, dreamy quality to the story telling that challenged my reader's brain. At first, I felt detached from the storyline and was just trying to quantify the plot etc in ways that were natural to my sensibilities. I persisted through my initial disconnect and began to better absorb the flow and style of storytelling. Once I got to that point, it was a powerful statement of the very complex experience of growing up Native American in some of the last decades of the 20th century. If you go the distance, this is a rewarding read.
