Summary
"Renowned Kiowa writer and poet N. Scott Momaday's magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of a stranger in his native land. A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father'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, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust."--Provided by publisher.
