House Made of Dawn

HMM. I think, when all is said and done, perhaps I did not totally understand this book. I enjoyed the poetic prose very much. And I enjoyed the shifts in perspective. And I think I got the gist of the native closeness to the land vs white American consumerist shit. But overall it just didn't grab me the way it should have–and I think I lost patience with it and didn't pay it the attention it deserved.

Still, I think I value this book more for its contributions as a forerunner of the contemporary Native American literary movement than I did as a book to read.
