About this title

Review:

"A tour-de-force of clarity and brilliance."-- "San Francisco Chronicle""An intriguing combination of myth, fiction, and storytelling that demonstrates the continuing power and range of Momaday's creative vision . . . As Momaday's vision unfolds, the reader recognizes storytelling that is coninuous and timeless . . .These are magical words. Listen."-- "Washington Post""Some of the finest writing about the plains I've ever read..."The Ancient Child" comes as close to a book-length prose poem as any novel you'll see this year. Put aside your normal expectations and let it have its way with you, and you'll be in for a real treat."-- Alan Cheuse, "All Things Considered" (National Public radio)
