Leslie Marmon Silko established herself as "the finest prose writer of her generation" (Larry McMurtry) with her debut novel Ceremony, one of the most acclaimed works of the 20th century. Of mixed
Laguna Pueblo, Cherokee, Mexican, and white heritage, Silko brings a unique perspective to her powerful works. In this deeply personal and spiritual book, she combines memoirs, traditional
storytelling, and ruminations on the natural world. ".this richly veined, dramatic, and mysterious self-portrait [is] a provocative and numinous memoir."-Booklist, starred review

Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A much-needed
treatise on renewing our relationship with the natural world.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Novelist, essayist,
and poet Silko finds in her deeply meditative memoir-cum-journal an exquisite
harmony between the native ways of her ancestors and the cycle of nature that
unfolds in the high desert of Arizona where she has lived for 30 years.” —Publishers Weekly
Leslie Marmon Silko has said that her writing has at its core “the attempt to identify what it is to be a half-breed or mixed-blood person.” As she grew up on the Laguna Pueblo Reservation,
she learned the stories and culture of the Laguna people from her great-grandmother and other female relatives. After receiving her BA in English at the University of New Mexico, she enrolled in
the University of New Mexico School of Law but completed only three semesters before deciding that writing and storytelling were the means by which she could best promote justice. She lives in
Tucson, Arizona.
