I have no idea why this seminal, nay iconic book has sat unread on my shelf for so many years. I took it with me when we went to our remote cabin in Maine, where there's no Internet, no phone-- no electricity, come to that. I knew we'd be spending a lot of time outdoors, so I wanted something short that I could read in brief installments before, worn out from the day's hiking, I fell asleep at night. But it rasined on the first day and, camp-bound, I went cover to cover with a brief break for lunch. The book was to my mind a triumph both of style and content, though in the case of so lyrical a writer as Momaday, that's a false distinction.

A young Native American, Abel has come home to New Mexico from war to find himself caught between two worlds.
