Bücher von N. Scott Momaday

N. Scott Momaday has had one of the most remarkable careers in twentieth-century American letters. Here, in In the Bear's House, Momaday passionately explores themes of loneliness, sacredness, and aggression through his depiction of Bear, the one animal that has both inspired and haunted him throughout his lifetime.

Although highly regarded as a writer of fiction, non-fiction, and drama, N. Scott Momaday considers himself primarily a poet. This first book of his poems to be published in over a decade comprises a varied selection of new work along with the best from his four earlier collections of poems.

Tells the story of a young American Indian named Abel, home from a foreign war and caught between two worlds: one his father's, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons and the harsh beauty of the land, and the other of industrial America, goading him into a compulsive cycle of dissipation and disgust.
