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. This guide, with chapters written by
leading scholars of Native American literature, 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
art. These chapters map Silko's place in the broad context of
American literary history. Further, they trace her pivotal role in
prompting other Indigenous writers to enter the conversations she
helped to launch. Along the way, the book engages her historical
themes of land, ethnicity, race, gender, trauma, and healing, while
examining her narrative craft and her mythic lyricism.
