Customer Reviews

Not just a story--a truly meaningful exploration.
A truly excellent novel, House Made of Dawn vividly depicts the alienation of a twentieth century Native American veteran in the true-to-life nonlinear fashion of American Indian oral tradition and spiritualism. Momaday's construction of the narrative reflects the confused, displaced state of his novel's protagonist, Abel.

Descriptive story of a Native American in the mid 1900
Although difficult to follow at times, Momaday is a master at description. Using intense situations and vivid illustration, it is a fantastic novel.

Very talked about!
This book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969, and has had all sorts of articles and criticism written about it ever since. For proof, visit http://users.mwci.net/~lapoz/Momaday.html
