This book embodies the very nature of Indian storytelling, which is circular, drawing upon the personal experiences of the narrator at every turn. Larson teaches about contemporary American Indian literature by describing his own experiences as a child on the Fort Belknap Reservation in Montana and as a professor at the University of Oregon.

Larson offers pieces of his unique autobiography, combined with rigorous, imaginative scholarship."oChoice

To educate yourself before reading another Native selection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Captured In The Middle: Tradition And Experience In Contemporary Native American Writing (McLellan Books) (Paperback)
In order to understand the ramifications of the latest Native American title, author, subject, you must first read this book. Don't hesitate to take notes. There is no substitute for the insight provided by "Captured in the Middle." Your understanding of Native peoples (in addition to that of available Native literature) will only elevate from the minimal plateau supplied by similarly charged works (e.g. Fergus M. Bordewich) to genuine comprehension.
