"A rich, many-faceted book." -- The New York Times

A classic work of Native American literature by the bestselling author of Ceremony

Leslie Marmon Silko's groundbreaking book Storyteller, first published in 1981, blends original short stories and poetry influenced by the traditional oral tales that she heard growing up on the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico with autobiographical passages, folktales, and family memories. As she mixes traditional and Western literary genres, Silko examines themes of memory, alienation, power, and identity; communicates Native American notions regarding time, nature, and spirituality; and explores how stories and storytelling shape people and communities. Storyteller illustrates how one can frame collective cultural identity in contemporary literary forms, as well as illuminates the importance of myth, oral tradition, and ritual in Silko's own work. This edition includes a new introduction by Silko.

Commentaires

Praise for Storyteller:

“A rich, many-faceted book . . . [Silko] has a sharp sense of the way in which the profound and the mundane often run together.” —N. Scott Momaday, The New York Times Book Review

“This multigeneric work lovingly maps the fertile storytelling ground from which [Silko’s] art evolves and to which it here returned—an offering to the oral tradition which nurtured it.” —Bernard A. Hirsch

“Takes us into old worlds of consciousness inside the present, and inside ourselves.” —Gloria Steinem
