Atlantic Monthly (01/19/1977) ""This memoir both records and recreates the lives of his forebears, and fuses them with the childhood experiences that formed the author's conception of himself as an Indian--a status which his father's talent and his mother's family might well have enabled him to discard. All of which sounds more complicated than it is when put into Mr. Momaday's graceful, lucid prose. ""Harper's (02/19/1977) ""Scott Momaday's book suggests the possibility, even the hope, that through some new alliance of the best in the Indians' culture and the best of the white man's civilization, we may yet find a way to answer that lie [of greed-and-consumption culture] and repeal its apparent conquest. ""New York Times Book Review (03/06/1977) ""'The Names' is an Indian book, but not a book about wrongs done to Indians. It is a search and a celebration, a book of identities and sources. Momaday is the son of parents; 6.5 x 8.5; 170 pages .
