A review by schenkelberg
House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday
4.0
For a book I picked up off the shelf, this was absolutely stunning (although I did pick it up since it had the pulitzer winner banner, so its not like I chose this completely at random)
The author, N. Scott Momaday, was a Kiowa Indian who lived on a number of reservations, and this was his first novel. The realism and power in imagery, and the incredible variety of voices that sound off throughout the book leave it unforgettable. There were parts that had me lost for a while, but by the end everything had been thrown into sharp, horrible clarity as the main character made the final turns of his descent into hell.
