After a long pause, Rich Text returns to exciting work of reviewing books and interviewing authors and artists. Please stay tuned. Albert Camus, Leon Wirth, Sujata Massey, and Khaled Husseini are the authors whose works are on this blogger's bedside table, at the moment.
COMING UP--A review of THE SEA OF GRASS, by Walter R. Echo-Hawk, a book ''Inspired by real people and events, "The Sea of Grass" is the story of the Pawnee Nation, which was shaped by the land, animals, and plants of the Central Plains. The long sweep of indigenous history in the grasslands of North America comes alive through the folklore of a single family. Major events are told from a Pawnee perspective, and capture the oral tradition of ten generations of Echo-Hawk's family. This historical novel tells the stories of the spiritual side of Native life, and gives voice to the rich culture and cosmology of the Pawnee Nation."
