Description

In his first novel since the Pulitzer Prize-winning “House Made of Dawn| ” N.
Scott Momaday shapes the ancient Kiowa myth of a boy who turned into a bear into a timeless American classic.
“The Ancient Child” juxtaposes Indian lore and Wild West legend into a hypnotic| often lyrical contemporary novel–the story of Locke Setman| known as Set| a Native American raised far from the reservation by his adoptive father.
Set feels a strange aching in his soul and| returning to tribal lands for the funeral of his grandmother| is drawn irresistibly to the fabled bear-boy.
When he meets Grey| a beautiful young medicine woman with a visionary gift| his world is turned upside down.
Here is a magical saga of one man’s tormented search for his identity–a quintessential American novel| and a great one.
