House Made of Dawn [50th Anniversary Ed] A Novel by Momaday, N. Scott Format: PaperbackPublished by HarperCollins, 2018 A special 50th anniversary edition of the magnificent Pulitz er Prize-winning classic from N. Scott Momaday, with a new preface by the author A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his grandfather’s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world—modern, industrial America—pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, claiming his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust. Beautifully rendered and deeply affecting, House Made of Dawn has moved and inspired readers and writers for the last fifty years. It remains, in the words of The Paris Review, “both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature.” Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
