Washington Post

"An intriguing combination of myth, fiction, and storytelling that demonstrates the continuing power and range of Momaday's creative vision.... As Momaday's vision unfolds, the reader recognizes storytelling that is coninuous and timeless.... These are magical words. Listen."

San Francisco Chronicle

"A tour de force of clarity and brilliance."
