| book description |
Essays and short stories from a celebrated Cupeño/Cahuilla journalist. ""Johnson is by turns tender and hilarious—as ever. This book is a welcome addition to his loving history of the world as he knows it."" —Susan Straight, author of Sacrament In this moving collection of short stories and essays, Gordon Lee Johnson (Cupeño/Cahuilla) cements his voice not only as a commentator on American Indian reservation life but also as a master of fiction writing. From the noir-tinged mystery of ""Unholy Wine"" to the gripping intensity of ""Tukwut,"" Johnson effortlessly switches genre and perspective, vividly evoking people and places that are fictional but profoundly true to life. Johnson’s nonfiction is equally revelatory in its exploration of connections between past and present. Whether examining his own conflicted feelings toward the missions as a source of both cultural damage and identity or sharing advice on cooking for eight dozen cowboys and -girls, Johnson plumbs the comedy, catastrophe, and beauty of his life on the Pala Reservation to thunderous effect.
