James Welch never shied away from depicting the lives of Native
Americans damned by destiny and temperament to the margins of
society. "The Death of Jim Loney" is no exception. Jim Loney is a
mixed-blood, of white and Indian parentage. Estranged from both
communities, he lives a solitary, brooding existence in a small
Montana town. His nights are filled with disturbing dreams that
haunt his waking hours. Rhea, his lover, cannot console him; Kate,
his sister, cannot penetrate his world. In sparse, moving prose,
Welch has crafted a riveting tale of disenfranchisement and
self-destruction.
