"House Made of Dawn", which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969, tells the story of a young American Indian named Abel, home from a foreign war and caught between two worlds: one his father's, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons and the harsh beauty of the land; the other of industrial America, goading him into a compulsive cycle of dissipation and disgust.

Format:Paperback
A truly excellent novel, House Made of Dawn vividly depicts the alienation of a twentieth century Native American veteran in the true-to-life nonlinear fashion of American Indian oral tradition and spiritualism. Momaday's construction of the narrative reflects the confused, displaced state of his novel's protagonist, Abel.

Although difficult to follow at times, Momaday is a master at description. Using intense situations and vivid illustration, it is a fantastic novel.
