Earth Song, Sky Spirit

In this collection of thirty varied and powerful short stories, most written especially for this volume, established and emerging talents in Native American writing present and explore the plight, the pride, and the uneasy presence of Indians in this country today. Editor Clifford Trafzer presents a mix of beloved and rarely seen
stories by premier Native American writers, including Momaday's "The Well" - which appears here for the first time in book form - and features the best works of two dozen lesser-known storytellers from a wide range of tribes and cultural backgrounds, which demonstrate the vibrance and diversity of Native American writing now and for years to come. With an introduction exploring the roots of current Native American fiction in traditional tales and the enduring themes of American Indian writing, Earth Song, Sky Spirit is an exciting new anthology of some of the most accomplished - and popular - ethnic fiction available.
