Compare Dreams Of Fiery Stars: The Transformations Of Native American Fiction by Catherine Rainwater, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Native American storytelling has traditionally been done orally. Only in the decades since the publication of N. Scott Momaday’s House Made of Dawn has a new generation of native storytellers chosen writing over oral traditions. In Dreams of Fiery Stars, Catherine Rainwater examines the novels of writers such as Momaday, Linda Hogan and Louise Erdich and contends that the very act of writing narrative imposes constraints upon these authors that are foreign to their traditions. | Dreams Of Fiery Stars: The Transformations Of Native American Fiction by Catherine Rainwater, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
