N. Scott Momaday: A Master of Time, History, and Language
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
N. Scott Momaday is the most intelligent, thought-provoking, and beautiful writer of this century. I went to a reading at Emory University in Atlanta, GA a few weeks before this book was published throughout the country. The book mixes the beauty of language with the complexity of the human experience with the spirit of the Bear-- breathing heavily, seductively down the neck of the reader. This book, novel, essay collection: is essential for anyone who understands or who longs to understand the living, breathing entity that is language-- and that language which constitutes our own nature and being.
