These sixteen storiesten of which have not been previously publishedrepresent the work of one of the most influential Native American writers of the twentieth centuryheld by many to be the most important Native American to write fiction before N. Scott Momaday. Birgit Hans's introductory essay provides a brief biography of McNickle, sets the stories in the context of his better known work, and provides insights into their literary significance. Together, they constitute a collection essential to an adequate understanding of McNickle and of the development of Native American fiction.McNickle is perhaps best known for his novel "The Surrounded". But McNickle wrote short stories throughout his life. Hans presents them here, many for the first time. As she reports in her well-written, informative introduction, McNickle was slow to acquire an appreciation of himself as an American Indian, and this collection gives evidence of his evolving consciousness. Most of the stories are fully realized presentations of life in flux. Whether set on the reservation or in the big city, they deal primarily with the themes of alienation from community and environment. An immensely valuable contribution to American Indian literary studies/. McNickle's work still speaks for the wisdom of writing about what you know and feel to be true in the voice that's most simply and truly your own." First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. …
