About This Item
Univ. Of New Mexico, 1976. Paperback. Collectible - Fine. Al Momaday. Octavo, softcover, fine, as new, in beige and tan pictorial wraps. 89 pp. I was first told these stories by my father when I was a child. told in three voices. The first voice is the voice of my father, the ancestral voice, and the voice of the Kiowa oral tradition. The second is the voice of historical commentary. And the third is that of personal reminiscence, my own voice. There is a turning and returning of myth, history, and memoir throughout, a narrative wheel that is as sacred as language itself.
