The next book for the the adult’s Nung’wu Book Tooveets-see-us-stitch Club is widely credited as leading the way for the breakthrough of Native American literature into the mainstream, and it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969.
“House Made of Dawn” (50th Anniversary Edition) by M. Scott Momaday
From Amazon:
“Both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature. . . . A beautiful artistic object, a book everyone should read for the joy and emotion of the language it contains.” — The Paris Review
A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his grandfather’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 despair.
