About this title

Review:

"A rare invocation of pure spirit. I loved it like an old song. If timeless reading pleasure and new discoveries are your thing, get this book" (Andrew O'Hagan)

"Neither Wolf Nor Dog is a book of revelation . . . a true-life fable and a provocative call" (Robert Plant)

From the Author:

"Jack Kerouac meets Black Elk Speaks"
This is not an ordinary book. I will say, simply, that no book will get a non-Indian reader closer to the heart of the Native American experience. I was lucky to get this book, and I feel that it is a gift that I am fortunate to pass along. To my native friends: Trust me. See if my words speak the truth. To my non-Indian friends: Take this journey and see if your eyes and hearts are not opened in a way that is beyond your imagining. This is not some Lynn Andrews foolishness, or some silly fantasy Australian walkabout. This is a real truth -- at once harsh, beautiful, profound, and necessary -- about the lives and spirits of those to whom this land was originally given. You will not look at America in the same way ever again. That is my promise.
