a non-linear and highly crafted text

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2000

Imagery is fantasitic

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2000
Review: Silko's work "Ceremony" is a wonderful book concerning life of a World War Two veteran who is returning to the Laguna reservation in New Mexico. By far the strongest aspect of this book is the imagery that Silko flawlessly weaves throughout the...
