This book includes sections written in first, second, and third person, in the past and present tenses. It is about a culture that I know very little about, and Momaday makes no issue of that: one is immersed. It’s confusing, it’s “deep” and yet… it is beautiful. The land has a resonating voice, and the imagery in descriptions is beautiful. Give it a try, but I don’t guarantee you’ll like it.
