Other Destinies: Understanding the American Indian Novel Volume 3

Louis Owens
Jane HammonsJane Hammons

@JakeSkeets Louis Owens' introduction to Other Destinies: Understanding the American Indian Novel (1992) is masterful: autobiographical, analytical, academic, personal. He is introducing his book as well as himself and some theory, so it also serves as an overview of the writers he covers.

It was half-past five before Holmes returned. He was bright, eager, and in excellent spirits, a mood which in his case alternated with fits of the blackest depression. - The Sign Of Four, Arthur Conan Doyle #literatureclock https://t.co/gI0uqYNrJT
