"First published in 1994, Grand Avenue: A Novel in Stories remains a foundational and critically acclaimed book of American Indian literature. Authored by Greg Sarris, a scholar and tribal administrator who has influenced the direction of California Indian literature and politics for more than twenty years, Grand Avenue is a collection of interwoven stories bound together by ancestry, ritual, violence, poverty, and humor. Home to Pomo Indians, Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, and Portuguese, Grand Avenue in Santa Rosa, California, is a poor albeit vibrant place of changing and resilient traditions, heartbreak, and a timeless grace. In one story, a teenage girl falls in love with a crippled horse marked for slaughter, while in another an aging healer summons his strength for one final song. A father seeks a bond with his illegitimate son, while a mother searches for the power to care for her cancer-stricken daughter's spirit. Along Grand Avenue, Sarris creates a vision of disparate lives going in many directions, but born from a common ground. Grand Avenue was the basis of an HBO miniseries that aired in 1996. The updated version of the book features a new preface from the author. Also included is a scholarly essay from Reginald Dyck that opens up the material realities of the world Sarris brings to life in prose. This new edition is especially geared towards the classroom" -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
