House Made of Dawn [50th Anniversary Ed]

The 50th Anniversary edition of the magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of a stranger in his native land, featuring a new preface by the author.

A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father’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 disgust. Now reissued in a 50^th anniversary edition, House Made of Dawn continues to move and influence readers and writers alike, and remains, in the words of The Paris Review, “both a masterpiece about the universal human condition and a masterpiece of Native American literature.”
