A major American writer at the turn of this millennium, Leslie
Marmon Silko has also been one of the most powerful voices in the
flowering of Native American literature since the publication of
her 1977 novel Ceremony. With chapters written by leading scholars
of Native American literature, this guide explores Silko's major
novels Ceremony, Almanac of the Dead and Gardens in the Dunes as an
entryway into the full body of her work that includes poetry,
essays, short fiction, film, photography, and other visual artwork.
In addition to placing Silko in the broad context of American
literary history, the book serves to contextualize her pivotal role
in unleashing the vast flood of other Native American, aboriginal,
and Indigenous writers who have entered the conversations she
helped to launch. Along the way, the book examines her tackling of
such historical themes as land, ethnicity, race, gender, trauma,
and healing, as well as her narrative forms and her mythic
lyricism.
