Green Grass, Running Water by Thomas King
3.0
The idea of this book really appeals to me, but I found myself losing interest in characters almost immediately after being introduced to them. I'm not sure if it was the language style or the pace, but it just wasn't for me.
"Green Grass, Running Water" is a contemporary novel that weaves together the narratives of several characters, blending Native American mythology, humor, and social commentary. The story revolves around the lives of four Native American men and their interactions with mythical figures as they navigate contemporary challenges and cultural identity. King's narrative skillfully explores issues of colonialism, cultural clashes, and the complexities of modern Native American identity with a blend of wit and profound insight.
