House Made of Dawn
- Book Review,
by N. Scott Momaday
"Superb."
American Literature
"A new romanticism, with a reverence for the land, a transcendent optimism, and a sense of mythic wholeness...Push[es] the secular mode of modern fiction into the sacred mode, a faith and recognition in the power of the world."
Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Almost unbearably authentic and powerful...Anyone who picks up this novel and reads the first paragraph will be hard pressed to put it down."
C leveland Plain Dealer
"Authentic and powerful. Almost unbearably authentic and powerful...unlike any writing I have ever read...Anyone who picks up this novel and reads the first paragraph will be hard pressed to put it down"
